Creative Writing > Memoirs Testimonies: I'm getting married: 1 of 8
I'd known since I was seventeen years old that we would end up together. We'd dated briefly around that time, while I was still in high school and John, three years older, still wasn't quite sure what to do with his life. I can even pinpoint the exact moment I realized we were meant to be together. It wasn't as if that was t... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Characteristics of an effective volunteer: 4 of 31
As a volunteer Volunteer Coordinator, and someone that recently completed a project valued locally at $85,000 for free, I have to think that I've crossed the line from "dedicated" and "passionate" and moved into "maybe a little bit crazy". Yet in my many adventures as a volunteer, I've learned that there are a few things tha... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Gardening: 2 of 15
Even though its been over a decade, in my mind's eye I can still see the little old Lebanese woman who lived in the big house by the road, taking water by the can-full out of the big rain barrel next to her house and walking it slowly across the stone driveway to her garden. I was just a child, and I once got scolded for ref... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Constitutional & Contract Law Should a woman have the right to choose abortion?: 62 of 428
It would be a beautiful world if every child born was one that was desired by both parents, loved and cared for by them, born problem-free to parents ready and prepared to have them. Life, however, is just a little more complicated than that, and abortion is an issue just as complicated. The simple truth, however, is that wo... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Wicca & Witchcraft How to start your own Wiccan Book of Shadows: 3 of 18
A Book of Shadows is something very personal, and should therefore be very specific to the individual who is making it. It should reflect that person's journey, traditions, and personality. If the Book of Shadows is for a group or coven, then it should reflect what is traditional and sacred to all. The first step is deciding... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Unspoken thoughts: 90 of 526
I'd give up the world for you- Everything but my soul, and that only Because it is already yours. I look at you, and as if you sense My eyes, you say "I love you". I say it back, but it sounds Too simple, too mundane For the emotion that chokes up my throat And overwhelms me. I melt into your arms And hold you close, so tigh... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Snapshots: 21 of 102
Only in my mind Exist the still-frame shots Of picture-perfect memories The best moments of my life, and the worst Are not captured on film But only in the snapshots of the mind's eye And the lenses of the heart. I see you, years younger, and smiling And her hands, work-worn but gentle I see the love of my life wrap his arms... More..
Creative Writing > Essays Essays: Intelligence vs. intuition: 2 of 9
For those who believe in any type of universal consciousness, there really isn't a difference between intelligence and intuition. Perhaps intuition is even more valuable in this sense, because it conveys an intelligence far deeper than the individual at hand. The knowledge is so deeply ingrained that it has reached a level o...

Education > Special Education Family activities to improve reading in children: 8 of 35
An important aspect of improving reading in children is getting them to enjoy reading. If reading is perceived as fun, a child won't come to think of it as a chore. Reading together with children is a good way for a child to be introduced to books as fun- find books on topics the child enjoys, and then read them together. Ha... More..
Religion & Spirituality > New Age Concepts Scientology: Religion or cult?: 16 of 62
Part of the reason I have become obsessed with fantasy and science fiction is due to the vast amount of creation that it takes to write, far more than just "writing a story", although that can be difficult enough in its own right. To write science fiction and fantasy is to create your own rules, sometimes religion and politi... More..
