Today I lost my car keys while running deep in the forest.
At the end of my run—breathless and filled with anxiety—I retraced my steps, bracing for the worst...
But then, among the trees, I found something unexpected:
a small circle made of branches, like a handmade compass.
And in the center, perfectly placed, were my keys.
Someone—a kind stranger—had found them.
And left that simple, clever, beautiful sign.
A silent gesture, yet full of humanity.
In a world that moves fast and often forgets to care for others,
a gesture like that speaks louder than a thousand words.
To whoever you are: thank you.
Today, you were my little miracle in the forest.

I went to a shelter to get a dog and I saw this Rottweiler standing quietly by the door. I made eye contact with him and he walked over, tail wagging, with the sweetest look in his eyes. I asked to see him and was told he had already been returned twice because he was too energetic and cried whenever left alone. When he was taken back to his kennel, he whimpered—it broke my heart. I told the man I wanted him. He warned me I’d regret it. But when we got home, I worked with him and made changes to help him feel safe. He has separation anxiety, but everything has worked out. Now he’s my best pal, and we play catch every day. His name is Rocky ❤

This Mom Has a Genius Trick!
“I just had to share this because it works so well for us! I’m sure I’m not the only mom who gets tired of hearing their kids ask for every single thing in the grocery store. I say no a lot, but I think it’s just natural for kids to see things and want them.
So, to distract them, I started letting them pick out one can of food for the food bank every time we shop. Any can they want! And guess what? They love it! They think really hard about which can to choose. They carry it to the checkout, hand it to the cashier, and then put it in the food bank bin themselves.
My daughter even likes to tell people what the food bank is and why it matters! We’ve done this for the last 5 grocery trips, and not once have they asked for toys or treats! And the best part? They’re helping others at the same time.
I know this won’t last forever, but if you have a 2 or 4-year-old like me, I highly recommend trying it! Maybe when they get older, I can turn it into a fun game—like, ‘Find a can that starts with the letter C’ or ‘Find a vegetable!’”

On December 6, 2006, Major Megan McClung, United States Marine Corps, was killed in action in Iraq when an IED struck her vehicle. She was just 34 years old and one month away from finishing her year-long tour. An Army captain and an Army specialist were also lost that day.
Major McClung made history as the first female graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy to be killed in action, and the first female Marine officer to fall in Iraq. Her bravery and leadership left a legacy of honor that continues to inspire Marines and service members everywhere.
God bless this Marine. Her courage will never be forgotten. Semper Fi, hero. 🙏🏼🇺🇲❤️🎖

I took this photo the day after I left him.
Just a mattress on the floor, a mirror leaning against the wall, and my cat cautiously exploring our new reality. To anyone else, it was nothing. To me, it was the first time in five years I felt safe.
The loft I rented was a converted textile factory downtown, overpriced for what it was, but I didn’t care. I’d paid the deposit with money I’d been secretly saving from my small business on the Tedooo app, selling hand-painted ceramics. Every mug, every ornament I shipped had been a quiet step toward this empty room.
When I finally left, our friends were stunned.
“But he’s so charming,” they said. “You two always look so happy.”
They never saw the other side, the way he critiqued my body behind closed doors, checked my phone while I slept, or “accidentally” smashed my art if I spent too much time working on it.
I didn’t tell a soul I was leaving. I just packed what I could into my car while he was at work, my cat, my clothes, my pottery wheel. Everything else, I left behind. The price of crossing a bridge to somewhere better.
That first night, I slept deeper on a bare mattress than I ever had in our luxury king bed with its perfect sheets. My cat curled against my legs, purring in the silence. No one monitoring my breaths, no one to shrink around. Just space, beautiful, empty space, waiting for me to fill it.
Six months later, my Tedooo shop is thriving. Rent is paid without dipping into savings. Bit by bit, I’ve chosen each piece of furniture myself. My cat has her favorite perch by the window, where she watches pigeons. I’m seeing someone who brings me coffee in the mornings and asks about my latest designs.
But I’ve kept this photo. A reminder that sometimes the richest beginnings look like nothing at all...

BREAKING NEWS: Country-rap star Jelly Roll has pledged his entire $5 million in recent tour bonuses and sponsorship earnings to fund a series of homeless support centers in his hometown of Antioch, Tennessee.
The initiative will create 150 housing units and 300 shelter beds for those in need.
“I’ve seen too many people back home fighting to survive cold nights without a roof over their heads,” Jelly Roll said emotionally at the press conference. “I promised myself that if I ever had the chance, I’d step up. No one should have to sleep outside in that kind of cold.”

My mom did not sleep. She felt exhausted. She was irritable, grumpy, and bitter. She was always sick until one day, suddenly, she changed.
One day my dad said to her:
- I've been looking for a job for three months and I haven't found anything, I'm going to have a few beers with friends.
My mom replied:
- It's okay.
My brother said to her:
- Mom, I'm doing poorly in all subjects at the University.
My mom replied:
- Okay, you will recover, and if you don't, well, you repeat the semester, but you pay the tuition.
My sister said to her:
- Mom, I smashed the car.
My mom replied:
- Okay daughter, take it to the car shop & find out how to pay and while they fix it, get around by bus or subway.
Her daughter-in-law said to her:
- Mother-in-law, I came to spend a few months with you.
My mom replied:
- Okay, settle in the living room couch and look for some blankets in the closet.
All of us gathered worried to see these reactions coming from Mom.
We suspected that she had gone to the doctor and that she was prescribed some pills called "I don't give a damn”... Perhaps she was overdosing on these!
We then proposed to do an "intervention" with w/my mother to remove her from any possible addiction she had to some anti-tantrum medication.
But then ... she gathered us around her and my mom explained:
"It took me a long time to realize that each person is responsible for their life. It took me years to discover that my anguish, anxiety, depression, courage, insomnia & my stress, do not solve your problems but aggravate mine.
I am not responsible for the actions of anyone & it’s not my job to provide happiness but I am responsible for the reactions I express to that.
Therefore, I came to the conclusion that my duty to myself is to remain calm and let each one of you solve what corresponds to you.
I have taken courses in yoga, meditation, miracles, human development, mental hygiene, vibration, and neurolinguistic programming, and in all of them, I found a common denominator in them all...
I can only control myself, you have all the necessary resources to solve your own problems despite how hard they may be. My job is to pray for you, love on you, and encourage you but it’s up to YOU to solve them & find your happiness.
I can only give you my advice if you ask me & it depends on you to follow it or not. There are consequences, good or bad, to your decisions and YOU have to live them.
So from now on, I cease to be the receptacle of your responsibilities, the sack of your guilt, the laundress of your remorse, the advocate of your faults, the wall of your lamentations, the depositary of your duties, who should solve your problems or spare a tire every time to fulfill your responsibilities.
From now on, I declare all independent and self-sufficient adults.
Everyone at my mom's house was speechless.
From that day on, the family began to function better because everyone in the house knew exactly what it was that they needed to do.
For some of us, this is hard because we've grown up being caregivers and feeling responsible for others. As moms & wives, we are fixers of all things. We never want our loved ones to go through difficult things or to struggle. We want everyone to be happy.
But, the sooner we take that responsibility off of our shoulders & onto each loved one, the better we are preparing them to be responsible.
We are not here on earth to be everything to everyone. Stop putting that pressure on yourself.
Much Love,
Charlyn.

A father said to his son , "You graduated with honors. Here is a Volkswagen beetle that i bought many years ago ... It is over 50years old , but before I give it to you, take it to a dealership downtown and ask how much there are offering you."
The son went to the dealership, came back to his father and said, "They offered me $10,000 because it looks very used." The father said, "Take it to a pawn shop."
The son went to the pawn shop, came back and said, "They only offered me $1,000 because they say it is too old."
Finally, the father asked his son to take the car to a classic car club and show it there. The son took the car to the club, came back and said, "Some people at the club offered me $100,000! because it is a very rare car and sought after among the members."
The father said to his son, "I wanted you to understand that the right place appreciates you in the right way. If they don't value you, don't be angry, it just means you're in the wrong place. Those who know your value are the ones who truly appreciate you. Never stay in a place where they don't recognize your value!"
