A Light in the Darkness

A Light in the Darkness

An inspirational story of the healing power of music, creativity, following your dreams and finding your true purpose. In 2008, singer-songwriter Lisa Sniderman was living the dream in California.

What Do Dog’s Love?

What Do Dog’s Love?

What Do Dog’s Love? 1) Food. Any food. Their nose in a dish. Eating. Anything… 2) Fun, games, toys. Anything that gives them attention from you. Especially toys. 3) Walkies! Any time or weather. Sniffing at everything they pass. 4) Choosing their favourite furniture, and roughing it up a bit so it feels like it belongs. 5) Staring at you. Sometimes with no reason at all, but mainly if you appear to be eating anything. 6) Sleeping in a favourite spot with one ear up so they don’t miss anything. 7) Treats.

Jacqueline by Peter Carseldine

Jacqueline by Peter Carseldine

The story Jacqueline, while fictitious, is based on a friendship the author had during the mid-1960s. The sequence of events that appear as diary entries of 1965 and 1966 are factual and form the basis of the story. The rest of the narrative is pure fiction. The character Jacqueline portrays the author’s friend who tragically did take her own life in 1978. While the character name Jacqueline is not the name of the author’s friend, the story is written with a heartfelt memory of her.

Independence Day 4th July 2024.

The Fourth of July—also known as Independence Day, has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, but the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution. When the initial battles broke out in April 1775, few colonists desired complete independence from Great Britain, and those who did were considered radical. By the middle of the following year, however, many more colonists had come to favor independence, thanks to growing hostility against Britain and the spread of revolutionary sentiments. On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence,…

You just have to move his hairballs. 7) He never does anything wrong. You are wrong to believe he has. 8) You can…
