If you're anything like me you have a few issues with feeling good about yourself. Sometimes it's just the way we are, sometimes it's what other people -- like partners, friends, family, teachers, the boss at work -- have said to...

I was brought up quite strict and definitely taught to always obey the rules. It didn't matter if those rules were from the pastor, the Bible, teachers at school, my parents, the government, or whatever. Rules were there to be...

Arianna @kanuck1 Yes, I'm totally with you and that's a beautiful verse! But I remember my old pastor used to reach that we're are saved by Faith, not deeds. And in the Bible it says faith in one place and deeds in another. So, that's confusing! What do you think...

Arianna @hardtimes1958 Thank you for explaining that. Please be super patient with me, I'm not very smart and I don't think I totally understood that. Do you mean, it depends on our beliefs. So if we believe the same then I should trust that you are telling me the...

Most of us are pretty busy all the time these days, even with the restrictions many of us face because of the pandemic. Although I'll bet we've all seen people on our social media and elsewhere who have at least tried to use this...

I've always loved animals ever since I was little. I used to like watching the birds in the park and there was a pond with fish in it, too. When I was a kid I always wanted a puppy but I could never have one. But that's okay....

Arianna Hi Engki! I'm glad you like animals, too! Cat and hamster and bird are good choices, right? Although the hamster and the bird might not think so if you let the cat get near them! I like your pint that they make you comfortable. I...

Arianna Hi George! Thanks for sharing. That's so cool. hedgehog is my favorite animal but dogs are definitely my favorite pets. Or they would be if I could have one. My grandma had a parrot that lived longer than she did! Do you have any pets? I guess you have digs,...

Arianna @Hytton03 Oh, I'm sad to hear that! So sorry. But at least you know they're safe, right? Maybe one day you'll have another dog if you don't have those neighbors anymore. What kind of dog would you like best if you could choose?

Arianna @just4him You've been amazing, so encouraging! Thank you. I'll let you know how I get on. I've nearly finished the first chapter, but I don't know if I should read it back when it's done or just go straight on to chapter two. What do you do?

Arianna @Hannihar You're welcome. I think she's beautiful! Lots of cats are like that, aren't they, that they won't let you brush them? But does she like cuddles? Does she curl up on your lap and like being stroked? That's different to being brushed, right? Maybe it's...

Arianna @LadyDuck Wow, that was cool that you noticed the vase and didn't throw the vase away! I didn't think that cats would bother hedgehogs because they are so spiky. Would a cat eat a hedgehog, then?

Arianna @Cheyee It's definitely super-cute! Yeah, cheetahs are cool. Quite a few friends on this discussion have said cheetahs are their favorite, or one of their favorites. I like them, too. Do you know how fast they can run?

Arianna @TitiaG Thanks for sharing, Titia. Let's hope now you've complained they'll do something about it because honestly I wouldn't ever think about going back to the website and if I saw a search result with that in, I'd choose a different one. But you mentioned...

I don't know about you, but I find it hard to trust my own opinions. I know I'm not that smart, so I like to get advice and insights from other people before I make decisions. Sometimes that means I "miss the boat" because I...

Arianna Hi Jim! Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you're doing well for money. I wish I was! I mean, I'm not going hungry or anything and I have a roof over my head, but sometimes I wish I had a little more. Do you work for someone or are you self-employed, or what? I do...

Arianna Hi Hate2Iron! I hate ironing, too, lol! Thanks for your response, though. You're the first person on here to admit that you follow your judgement after you take advice but that you don't always get it right. Thank you so much for being so honest. I guess that...

Arianna @thelme55 Thank you! Quite a few cool people like you have said that they had to learn to trust themselves. You're so kind to share your advice with me. I wonder if there was some special experience or someone who you met that helped you learn?

Arianna @rakski Cool. Thank you so much for sharing! And do you think that, on balance, you tend to make the right decisions most of the time that way? And if you ever make a mistake, why do you think that would be? You don't have to answer if you don't want, but I'd...

Arianna @kanuck1 Yeah, I thought you would. It's a great story, isn't it? It always gives me hope because I'm definitely more like the turtle than the hare! My grandma used to tell me that story and others, too. Where do you first hear it, can you remember?
