One place you want to visit on the old Bucket List

OtakuNerdyChica @DanieGirl80587 (2713) • United States 21 Aug 15

My one wish is to go to Paris. There are plenty of other places I would like to visit, but Paris is just that one place I have been dreaming of going to. What's your dream place?

Kevin @excellence7 (3655) • Mauritius 21 Aug 15

Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do? Is it by compulsion or passion? Is it where you wanted to be in your life right now? Are you happy with yourself at this stage of life? Why you do what you do? It is serving a...

Treesaver I recently figured out my ultimate passion in life is to become a professional philanthropist. Big dream, I know, but now I feel like I have a purpose. Before this time, I was very depressed about the state of the world and felt quite helpless. I didn't...

AbbyGreenhill @AbbyGreenhill (45494) • United States 21 Aug 15

Good morning ladies and gentlemen! For those of us who are retired, Friday is just another day - just like Saturday and Sunday. Having no one to report to is one of the best parts of retirement. However, many of you are...

Treesaver I'm going to a Pirate Festival fundraiser event with a friend. Should be fun. If it's not too hot on Sunday, I may be painting a mural on a shed door! Rest of the time will be for relaxing. :) Hope you have a great weekend!

Treesaver You are not crazy! This is what some call out of body experience or astral projection. Some people try to get to the point where they can willingly do so. Sounds like it happened for you by accident! Many consider it a gift. Don't be afraid if it happens...

jessyu @jessyu (131) • Chengdu, China 20 Aug 15

My dream is to be a good written translator, but it is usually hard to go after one's dream. There are also many other ways to make money without staying in office like writer, tramping singer, beggar etc. Nowadays, I find that...

Treesaver What an interesting question! Most people want to know jobs to do so they can stay home! I think translation is in demand, especially since the economy is becoming more global. My thought was if you wanted to translate you could do it online as a freelancer...

Treesaver Absolutely! Even in terms of non-spiritual perspective, if you return anger with anger, hurtful deeds with hurtful deeds, it only continues the cycle of violence and hate. If you are the first to try to find empathy for the other who has done ill against you,...

Ricki Dillane @ricki_911 (21625) • Toronto, Ontario 4 Aug 15

Would you live in forest?

trohichko @trohichko (197) • Bulgaria 1 Jul 10
