What is Helium

About me - Taye Foster Bradshaw

I am first and foremost a family person. I think every choice I make is determined by my love for the people God blessed me with.

My basket of joy is filled with two beautiful daughters. The youngest one is my warrior princess and resident comedienne.

Arts & Humanities > Internet Writing & Blogging What it means to be a blogger: 13 of 18
What is means to be a blogger is as personal as asking me what it means to be a mother or a writer or a teacher or memorist. It is my freedom and opportunity to sit before the blank screen, much like a blank paper, and let my creativity flow. I recently started a blog as a different expression from the articles I write on he... More..

Arts & Humanities > Writing & Rating at Helium Is the Helium rating system really fair: 27 of 33
On the surface one could ascertain that the Helium rating system is fair and that the system of "anonymous, peer review" is a wonderful way to determine how well you are advancing in honing your craft.

Jobs & Careers > Employers Is the military a good choice for your son or daughter: 9 of 11
It was a typical early fall afternoon. The school year was just getting underway and I had all the high hopes of any mom of a senior. I was in the great room, drinking my signature vanilla latte when my 6'4" second oldest son came to the balcony and uttered the life-changing words, "Mom, I'm going into the Navy." I nearly sp...

Relationships & Family > Married Life Overcoming marital stress due to chronic illness: 23 of 28
"In sickness and in health," was one of the vows we made to each other on that humid and clear August afternoon in front of over 300 family and friends. We were all smiles and joy on that day and never thought life-altering illness would invade our lives, we were wrong. This vow, among others, was tested a few years later. W... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Churches & Organizations The true meaning of Christian community: 16 of 18
I've longed for a common group of people, all flawed in our humanity, joining together to walk along this path of life, each holding and supporting, giving and nurturing, loving and growing. I recently relocated to a new city and have felt a tremendous sense of disconnectedness. The heart-ties that knit me to the former Chri... More..

Latinos are men and women descended from Latin American countries and Spain, including former Spanish territories.

Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Randy and Paula White divorce: Your reactions: 11 of 12
My initial reaction was sorrow and shame for the body of Christ about yet another public ministry figure falling from grace in the media eye. It grieved my spirit, not because I listen to Paula White because I don't, but because many people have and would therefore be spiritually upset. The Bible teaches to remain married an... More..
