Most people believe that millionaires are ruthless individuals whose life is driven by the thought of making more and more money. Luckily, that’s not always the case. Take Marcus Lemonis for example, a Lebanese-born American businessman, television personality and philanthropist. He’s the CEO of a couple of companies and the star of The Profit, a CNBC reality show about saving small businesses.
The thing is that this man has made his millions all by himself, with hard work and a great sense for business. He’s managed to reach heights by observing and implementing the most workable ideas in business, such as the fact that it is the employees who give a company soul and everything it needs in order to establish itself on the market as the leader in certain field.
Marcus is known for being there for his employees, as well as other people who are in need of help. One such person is Tami Forbes, a mother of twins aged 8, and a third child on the way.
In order to be able to provide for her kids, Tami, who is the store manager, was forced to work a second job, as a bartender.
Hearing this, Marcus knew he needed to step in, so he called Tami, who wasn’t certain what future held for her as she believed she could be fired because of the maternity leave she was planning to use.
But that wasn’t the case. Instead, Marcus told her to be at ease because her position would be waiting for her once she returns at the company. In addition to that, he told her she no longer needed to work extra jobs because he would be paying her $1,000 a week. Marcus promised that he would provide Tami with extra financial assistance for the first six months of her maternity leave.
What an incredible man.
Needless to say, Tami couldn’t contain her tears of joy.

The sight of Harry and William walking side by side behind the coffin of someone who meant so much to them, their loving grandmother and Queen of England, Queen Eliabeth II, reminded the world of the heartbreak the brothers were forced to endure after the loss of their mother, Princess Diana.
Now, after the passing of their grandmother, the brothers have been reunited once again and Britons, as well people from every corner of the Earth, hope this time it would be forever.
The relationship between Harry and the rest of the family sort of broke down after he and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties and left Britan for America. They settled down in California as they decided to build a new life away from The Firm.

Things got even more heated between the brothers after the infamous all-tell interview Harry and Meghan gave Oprah Winfrey. Among the rest, they spoke of Meghan’s mental struggles and how she was denied help because that would affect the family’s reputation, and they sort of accused the royals of racism after sharing that a senior royal questioned the skin color of then unborn Archie.
The Queen herself responded to those allegations writing in a statement that “the whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.”
The statement shared by the Palace on the Queen’s behalf further read, “The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately. Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”

After the passing of Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, everyone was eager to witness the relationship between Harry and his family being repaired, but sadly, that didn’t happen.
In the past, following the accusations and Harry’s interview in a podcast in which he spoke of the impact media and the paparazzi had on his mother’s dead, King Charles accused his son for ‘dragging the family name through the mud.’
Despite all that, people were somehow convinced that Harry would return to Britain, probably for good, after his grandmother’s passing and be there for his brother and father as a new era for the royal family has just started.
Reports are that he offered olive branch to his father, the new King of the country. Over the past few years, Harry and his father were reported to not have talked much, with some insinuating that they haven’t spoken at all.
In a statement on the Archewell Foundation website, established by Harry and Meghan, Harry pledged to honor his father.
The statement read, “And as it comes to first meetings, we now honor my father in his new role as King Charles III.”
Harry and Meghan are currently in Britain, and they are expected to stay at least until September 19, the day of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral when she will be laid to rest besides her mother and father.

Apparently, Harry wasn’t invited to dinner with William and Charles on the night his grandmother died. A source close to the family claimed that two dinners were held on the royal estate. One was for King Charles and Prince William, while the other was for the rest of the family, including Harry.
But now, it was reported that William and Kate extended an invitation to Harry and Meghan to greet well-wishers and take in floral tributes laid outside Buckingham Palace in the Queen’s memory.
William is believed to have wanted to negate any tension and show a united front alongside his younger brother.
We truly hope the brothers would be able to mend things down and Harry returned to Britain to be by his father’s side and support his rule.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, two incredible actors and human beings who have recently become co-chairmen of Welsh football team Wrexham FC, teamed up once again for a good cause and reminded us yet again why we all love them so much.
Following a bet that McElhenney won’t learn the Welsh after the two took over the club, which Reynolds happened to lose, the actors underwent through and recorded their colonoscopy examinations.
Known for their humorous nature, many believed the videos of their medical check-ups were simply farcical, but the truth is that Reynolds and McElhenney did it for a greater cause, to raise awareness about colon cancer, the third most frequently diagnosed cancer in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society.

The new guidelines lower the age of colon screening from 50 to 45.
“Rob and I, we turned 45 this year,” Reynolds says in the video. “And, you know, part of being this age is getting a colonoscopy. It’s a simple step that could literally, and I mean literally, save your life.”
Next, the video shows the Deadpool star arriving at the hospital.
“I would never normally have any medical procedure put on camera and then shared,” he says. “It’s not every day that you can raise awareness about something that will most definitely save lives. That’s enough motivation for me to let you in on a camera being shoved up my a**.”

Once the procedure, which lasts around 30 to 45 minutes, was done, the doctor approached Reynolds with his results and told him that an “extremely subtle polyp” was found and removed from his colon.
“This was potentially life-saving for you, I’m not kidding, I’m not being overly dramatic,” the doctor could be heard saying.
“This is exactly why you do this. You had no symptoms.”

The video then shows McElhenney, who says jokingly, “They either find nothing, and that means my colon is cleaner than his, or they find a polyp and it’s either bigger than his… or it’s smaller than his which means I have less of an opportunity to have cancer,” he says. “Either way I win.”
Doctors found three polyps which were removed.
The video shows the importance of regular check-ups. We thank these two brilliant actors for the initiative and for raising awareness of colon cancer.

The best way to raise your children into good people who would know to distinguish right from wrong is by constantly displaying virtuous activity yourself while they grow up. The truth is that no matter what you teach kids using words, they would always do what they see you doing.
The way you treat your parents when they get older is likely how you will be treated by your children when you get old.
One man decided he could no longer take care of his elderly father, so he decided to place him at a nursing facility against his will. The man wasn’t happy he was leaving the house, especially because he was still able to do most of the everyday things by himself. He rarely needed assistance and wasn’t asking for much, but still, his son believed he belonged to a facility.
When he left his father at the nursing home, the man returned to his house and saw his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
The little one was eager to ask a question, so the moment he spotted his dad entering the place, he uttered, “Did you write down the address where you took my grandfather?”
The man answered, “Why, do you want to visit him?”
The boy then replied, “I need to know where to take you when you get old too.”
The man couldn’t believe what he was hearing. He realized that with his act, he set an example for his child and knew he could be treated the same in the future.
Children always learn by setting examples, that is why we should provide them with the best ones there are and teach them that the elderly are very important part of our life, and that we should treat them as such.

We witness miracles taking place every now and then and we can’t help but wonder if it is our faith in God that leads to them, or they simply happen for no apparent reason.
A mother of twins was over the moon when her bundles of joy were welcomed into the world. Her entire life was about to change as she now had two precious jewels to raise and take care of.
Sadly, shortly after the delivery, doctors informed her that one of her babies didn’t develop as expected and was diagnosed with hydrocephalus among the rest, a condition characterized by excess fluid build-up in fluid-containing cavities of the brain, which results in developmental, physical, and intellectual impairments, and sometimes leads to death.
The prognosis was dull, despite doctors’ assurance that they would do all in their power to help save the baby.
Eventually, this mom was told to gather strength and say that one final goodbye to her child. She knew she didn’t have much time but as much as she wanted to be by the baby’s side, she believed it was more important for the little ones to spend some time together, so she asked from the doctors to place her babies in the same incubator.
It didn’t take long before the second baby started getting better. Could it be the bond with the sibling that helped him recover? This was something doctors didn’t have an answer to. What they knew was that the baby’s condition improved rapidly, and he was released from the hospital after over a week.
As per reports, this miracle took place some three years ago, and although the baby, who’s now a toddler, experiences certain health issues, he’s leading quite a normal and a fulfilled life.

Being a single parent can be truly challenging. Raising a child on your own takes double the time and double the effort, but at the end of the day, seeing the child happy is worth all the struggle.
A single mother of three adoptive children found herself in an extremely poor financial situation. She couldn’t afford to feed her kids and she was desperate to find a way out, so she made a bad call and stole some food from the supermarket, but she got caught.
The employee spotted the woman and called the police. The officers who arrived at the scene, Keith Bradshaw and Candace Spragins, could see the woman was in distress. The amount of money she was supposed to pay was $36.
As she was caught red-handed in the act, the officers were supposed to arrest her. She on the other hand begged not to be taken to the station as she had her kids waiting for her at home. She made an apology and explained the severity of the situation she found herself in. Further, she said that she experienced head trauma recently and that prevented her from finding a job.
Officers Bradshaw and Spragins went to the woman’s house, and they were stunned to discover that she was speaking the truth.
Three children were waiting for their mom to bring them some food while the fridge starred empty, with just a single piece of cheese inside.
This broke the officers’ hearts. They knew they needed to step in, so they returned to the supermarket and bought everything this mom needed.
The woman was over the moon as she couldn’t believe there were still good people like these officers out there. She said the cart full of food would last her for several weeks.
It turns out it is true when they say that it takes a village to raise a child, don’t you agree?

Every love story is beautiful in its own way, but some are so special that they serve as a reminder that love is the strongest force on Earth and beyond.
The love story between Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburg, lasted for over 70 years. Those were years filled with mutual respect and unity stronger than most marriages, royal on not, have ever witnessed.
According to royal writers, it only took a single glance at one another for young Elizabeth and Philip to fall in love with one another. She was 14 years old when she first met him during a cousin’s wedding of his. In the years that followed the serendipitous meeting, Elizabeth and Phillip were pen-friends who wrote to one another regularly.
When he asked for her hand in marriage, Prince Philip gave away his royal title, Prince of Greece and Denmark, and converted to the Church of England but it was all worth it.
The Queen described him as her “strength and stay” and was left heartbroken after he passed away on April 9, 2021.
Remembered as the man of his people, Prince Philip dedicated his entire life supporting the love of his life and wife of 73 years.
When the two tied the knot, he even gave up his surname, Mountbatten, and took Windsor instead.
“I am the only man in the country not allowed to give his name to his own children,” Philip once said.
But then, after the Queen’s grandmother passing in 1960, the royal family adopted the name Mountbatten-Windsor, which was given to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s male descendants who hadn’t receive a royal title. Today, Harry and Meghan’s children, Archie and Lilibet, bear the Mountbatten-Windsor name.

Describing his role in the royal family, Prince Philip once shared with BBC, “The problem was to recognize what the niche was and to try and grow into it and that was by trial and error… There was no precedent. If I asked somebody, ‘What do you expect me to do?’ they all looked blank. They had no idea, nobody had much idea.”
When they celebrated 50 years of marriage, the Queen spoke dearly of her husband in an emotional speech.
“All too often, I fear, Prince Philip has had to listen to me speaking. Frequently we have discussed my intended speech beforehand and, as you will imagine, his views have been expressed in a forthright manner,” the late Queen Elizabeth said. “He is someone who doesn’t take easily to compliments but he has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim, or we shall ever know.”

Late Queen Elizabeth wore a Welsh gold wedding ring after her royal wedding in 1947, as is tradition. What not many knew, however, was that Prince Philip engraved a message inside the ring and no one except for the two of them and the jeweller knew what it says. “She never takes it off and inside the ring is an inscription. No one knows what it says, other than the engraver, the Queen, and her husband,” Ingrid Seward, author of Prince Philip: Revealed, revealed to Hello Magazine.
However, now that the Queen passed away, it wouldn’t come as a surprise for the message to be revealed.

The ring, which is made from pure Welsh gold from the Clogau St. David’s gold mine, features a fantastic stone, estimated at three carats. It is flanked by smaller pavé diamonds and is estimated to be worth more than $175,000.
This long-lasting royal marriage ended with Prince Philip’s passing, and now the Queen is gone too, but their love story will always serve as a reminder that true love conquers all.

Best known for her role of Abby Sciuto, a quirky forensic scientist, actress Pauley Perrette gave so much to one of our most favorite crime shows ever created, NCIS.
The reason for her departure with the series came after a series of distasteful incidents, one of which involving her co-star, Mark Harmon. It was reported that the relationship between the two turned ‘rather icy’ after Harmon’s dog, whom he brought on the set very often, attacked a member of the crew. Perrette didn’t like the way Harmon reacted to the attack and believed it was inconsiderate from him to bring the dog to the filming again and again despite the incident.
Speaking of it, Harmon claimed that his Pit Bull was always leashed, but other sources claim otherwise.
When she decided she wanted to say goodbye to the show she was one of the central characters of, Perrette took to social media to send a message to her fans. “I hope everyone will love and enjoy EVERYTHING ABBY not only for the rest of this season but for everything she has given all of us for 16 years,” Perrette wrote. “All the love, all the laughter, all the inspiration… I love her as much as you do.”

The actress, who is now 53, opened up about her health and shared that she ‘cheated death’ a year ago. Through social media, the actress revealed that she suffered a “massive” stroke and gave her fans a new health update.
“It’s 9/2. One year ago I had a massive stoke [sic],” Perrette wrote. “Before that I lost so many beloved family and friends …Yet still a survivor after this traumatic life I’ve been given so far.
“How many times do I cheat death?” Perrette asked in a video she included in the post, sharing her heartbreak of losing her father and her cousin prior to the stoke she suffered.
“I’ve been through a lot in the last two years — things that are harder than having a stroke,” she said. “But I’m still here and I’m so grateful. And thank you, those of you who are my friends. Thank you. God bless you all. I’m still here.”

Speaking to Entertainment Now, Perrette went into details about the moment she had the stroke.
“I woke up and had no feeling on the entire right side of my body,” Perrette said. “At first I thought I had just slept funny. When I kept realizing the extent of the numbness; couldn’t feel my finger touching my face, couldn’t feel my face being touched by my finger, couldn’t feel my laptop sitting on my lap, no feeling at all on the right hand side — I could have burned myself or cut my finger off and wouldn’t have known — I called my doctor and he said, ‘GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM IMMEDIATELY.’”
She was then sent to the emergency room.
“Walked into the ER and said, ‘Hey, I can’t feel the right hand side of my body and…’ BAM! OMG! I was on a gurney with a million things stuck in my arms and a bunch of medical people rushing me somewhere,” the actress recalled. “They know how serious a stroke is and how immediate care is imperative.”

This month it’s been a year since the health issue Perrette experienced and she says she’d doing great and that she recovered completely.
“I am doing great and am super healthy now,” Perrette told People as she tried to raise awareness. “I want to thank everyone for their concern and take this opportunity to really plead for everyone to educate themselves on the signs of a stroke and the importance of getting medical help immediately.”
“Also that you can have a stroke AT ANY AGE, which I did not know. Teenagers can have a stroke,” she added.

When it comes to her personal life, what we know about Perrette is that she was married once, but the union ended in divorce. She even asked for a restraining order after separating ways with ex Coyote Shivers.
As per her own claims, Perrette isn’t dating anyone at the moment.
“Tried it. Not for me. Not at all,” the actress stated. “Probably the best decision I ever made in my life was the time that it took me to go like, ‘Wait a minute. This is silly. I don’t have to have a boyfriend, or a husband, or a girlfriend, or anything, you know?’”
Perrette added: “I don’t need any of that. Like, I do whatever I want. I do whatever I want. And I think that is rad!”
We are so happy Pauley Perrette overcame her health issue and we look forward to seeing her in a new project in the future.
