Please check out the latest prompt 5 from the Life column on happiness with gratitude by Dr. Preeti Singh. I have received wonderful stories about how the Universe shows the way and makes things true in our lives and there is gratitude for it. Happiness is the central theme that cannot be complete without gratitude and it has an element of spirituality and positivity.

💥Photography Column by Annelise Lords
I intend to use photographs to open all of the locked areas in the heart, mind, and soul. Lol. Our world is a beautiful place and a Doctor to billions of us who are willing to take the time to see and are aware of its healing properties. Is aware of what it offers and how it heals us. Earth plants and animals give. Humans take. I intend to use images to make you aware of the value of our environment and how important it is to our existence if we don’t take care of it. So, keep following and reading my photo column on DEP. Together we can save Earth!
Some of the mysteries of Earth.
Nature is the best artist and imitates no one!

A Lovely Visit in France by Lisa Precious / Smiley Blue in her article Enchanted by Provence in France.

An article about a Monkey and Bananas written by Lewiscoaches offers great pearls of wisdom and insights.
“There is nothing more important in life than making wise choices. It is the choices that you make that will ultimately define the legacy you leave at the end of your days here on earth.”

Congratulations to Dr. Gabriella Korosi for publishing the AI vs HI book, another accomplishment in a long line of collaborative achievements she has generously made happen for writers of DEP. At DEP, we are also proud of the way we try our best to showcase our writers with collections every Sunday featuring old posts to give them new life.
We also have regular prompts from our editors who helm our columns — to keep your creative juices flowing.
Here are a couple of stories I enjoyed very much:
Sreya Satheesh’s sweet little story is a lovely memory that still stays with her as a reminder of loving-kindness.
Elvie Lins’ story of why her marriage is stronger is interesting. Check it out.
I enjoyed Lisa Precious / Smiley Blue’s account of her trip to Provence, Southern France. I mean, who doesn’t have that on their travel bucket list? The photos are gorgeous!

I love Karsten Ramser’s series on Wisdom, but this particular piece stood out for me.
LIN is always teaching me fun facts about flowers but this piece on Queen Anne’s Lace blew me away!
Recommended by Warren Brown
Read this beautifully written article, I Call Them Angels, by Sreya Satheesh, which is a prompt response to ‘What event in your life has brought you happiness and you are in gratitude for it,” by Dr. Preeti Singh.
We celebrated “Earth Day” and our writers did as well. Read the powerful article, Capturing Earth’s Beauty, A Journey Through Travel and Photography, by Elvie Lins, with a number of amazing photographs. I always take the time to read Elvie Lins stories and admire her photography, which effectively captures her subjects.
Recommended by Lisa Precious / Smiley Blue
A heartwarming article from James Boylan about unconditional love. This piece brought a little tear to my eyes. We can learn so much from our beautiful animals.
To the strong warrior woman Libby Shively McAvoy for shining a bright spotlight on those who attempt to dim ours down.
