Where is your happy place?

@melanie_korach Amen!

In a world where you can be anything, be kind! Remember that sometimes you will be the light & sometimes you will need the light. So go out there & be kind because the truth is that life is hard & everyone needs a little kindness. #StarfishClub #mentalhealth

@melanie_korach Adrienne!!!!!!

“You had me at hello!” #StarfishClub

@melanie_korach I was taught it’s pretty much always off limits to ask a woman her age. Of course I was born in a different era. Is it still a thing??

A woman approached me in the grocery store this morning & said, “Excuse me can I ask your age?” I said, “I’m really sorry but I’m not comfortable with your question.” What is the protocol around asking someone their age & is it ok for a stranger to do? #StarfishClub

@melanie_korach I too, am climbing hills through the dense forest of life right now, Melanie. Thank you for sharing!! Blessings on you, fellow traveler!

My poem #Journey. I hope you enjoy it. It’s my favourite poem I’ve written over the years from my collection. #StarfishClub #poetry

@melanie_korach This is exactly why we admire you!

I admire people who have gone through hard times yet still have a soft heart they are willing to share with others. #StarfishClub

@melanie_korach 👋

Raise your hand if you like #poetry? Asking for a friend. #StarfishClub

@melanie_korach 17?? How can that be???? You’re not old enough to have a teenager 😁

Getting ready for my daughter’s 17th #birthday party #covid style!🎊It’s just me and the kids this year. It’s still a lot to be grateful for. When you count your blessings you always have more! #StarfishClub

@melanie_korach Well done, Melanie 👍🏻. As I suspect you and I both know, we cannot control how others behave but we can absolutely control how WE respond in the face of their decisions. My human nature often wants to give bad advice. My faith directs me otherwise ❤️🙏

@dpowersSMS Thank you so much Dave. I did talk to him and told him it was unkind and that his approach needed to be rethought. 💗

I’m in the parking lot at the Metro plaza where I got groceries. Feeling shaken. While standing in an empty aisle choosing salad dressing a customer came up to me & screamed in my face, “I guess u can’t see the arrows. Get a life.” I’m in shock. #StarfishClub

@melanie_korach Relationship ❤️

@jawadabbasi999 If any of this made sense it would not qualify as a government sanctioned operation!!! Look at the bright side ...... at least they are consistent 🤪

This is very upsetting Teachers must be first priorities for the authorities of #Ontario. The teacher must come first because they are our leaders. The teacher makes us doctors, engineers and scientists. Lots of prayers for you May God protects you

@melanie_korach Thank you for sharing these with us, Melanie! You are a beautiful and kind soul. Chris was fortunate indeed to call you friend. I pray peace, comfort, and healing for all of Chris’ friends and family.

Today’s #poetry reading is dedicated to my late friend Chris Powell who passed away yesterday in his 47th year. The loss has been devastating. I hope the poems bring some comfort to his family & loved ones during this sad time. Please share a kind word. #StarfishClub #kindness

@melanie_korach Thoughts and prayers for you and all if Chris’ family and friends. May warm memories comfort your grieving heart, Melanie.

I have just learned of the tragic passing of my dear friend Chris Powell. He will forever remain in my heart. I am trying to gather myself to do a poetry reading for Chris as I promised him I would continue to read him poetry even after his death. I’m crushed. #StarfishClub

@melanie_korach Your soulmate is alive and well & looking for you, whether they realize it right now or will soon discover. Thank you for sharing your love and positivity with the rest of us out here. It is the salve that is helping to heal your fellow wounded/broken heart life travelers. ❤️

I want to be friends with the world. I don’t know who wants to be friends with me but I have enough love for everyone. I have a heart that was broken but slowly I pieced it back together again and thankfully I still know how to care. Have faith that you do too. 💗#StarfishClub

@melanie_korach Wishing you a very Happy Bday, Melanie! bmacards.com/K8Qr7s

@melanie_korach Happy Bday, Melissa!! We love you sister, so thank you for all you have done in guiding her to being the awesomely positive and talented person she is!!! Hope you had a great day 🎂

Please join me in wishing my sister Melissa a very happy birthday today. She has always been there for me. She was an angel to me in high school when I was bullied. She taught me about the importance of being an upstander. Please share a kind word for her. #StarfishClub

@melanie_korach Today I smiled because I read your poem and saw your smiling face!
