How This Mom Cracked The Code For Joy And Success—And How You Can Do The Same
** OGTV celebrates all Moms on Mother's Day with this story of perseverance by a Mom who had every reason to give up her hopes of a happy life but simply refused to give in and found a way to turn her life around. **
At the age of 24, Shilamida felt that she had found success: she was earning a six-figure income and had a nice boyfriend. But just 2 years, everything seemed to fall apart. Her relationship ended shortly before she discovered she was pregnant. Her father passed away from cancer and her mother had been diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time; Shilamida found herself as a single mother and was living in poverty. This was rock bottom.
Fortunately, Shilamida didn't allow her hardship to destroy her life. In her search to recover peace and achieve her dreams, she credits the birth of her son and also the discovery of meaningful spiritual practices with helping her turn her life back around.
After going to massage school and starting a new career in acupuncture, Shilamida began to study under some prominent spiritual advisors. Through her practice, she discovered what she had been missing in her life: gratitude.
During the next 13 years, Shilamida intentionally pursued feelings and practices of gratitude—and her life completely changed! She lost over 100 pounds and started to let herself be loved by others. Now, Shilamida is 38 years old, and living a life she feels proud of with the love of her life and their five children.
This past year, Shilamida released her first book, inspired by her experiences and spiritual practice. In the interactive book, called "31 Days of Gratitude", Shilamida shares hard-earned knowledge and encourages journaling and reflection on how readers can live happy lives, just by changing their mindsets.
When asked if she had any advice to give to others, Shilamida simply stated: "The life that you want is yours for the taking."
We hope that Shilamida's story inspires to live the life you've always dreamed of! We know it has for us.

Random Acts Of Flowers Deliver Recycled Flowers To Deserving People
** OGTV celebrates the long awaited spring with our final GOOD STORY of the week about a man who performs acts of generosity that are blooming with color and kindness. **
In July 2007, Random Acts of Flowers' founder, Larsen Jay, was in a near-fatal accident. While recovering in the hospital, he received love, support and... flowers! They raised his spirits and added a positive boost to his recovery.
After a week in his hospital bed, Larsen started getting antsy. When he was able to get up and around a bit, he noticed how many other patients did not receive flowers. Since his room was now overflowing with arrangements, he decided to turn his flowers into several bouquets and gave them out around the hospital. Within moments the first "random act of flowers" delivery was made.
The memory of how this simple gesture touched his fellow patients inspired Larsen. "In room after room, we encountered people that their day was fundamentally changed in a positive way," he recalled. "We took something that would otherwise be tossed and just offered it to them." These good feelings compelled Larsen to form Random Act of Flowers in 2008, a non-profit company that strives to recycle and repurpose beautiful flowers to make people smile. They have already delivered over 250,000 bouquets to patients at hospitals, senior centers, and other healthcare facilities - that's a lot of smiles! Watch and see how flowers really do have the power to heal!

The Creation of Us (S2:E6) – Surprising Gender Reveal!
** In the final selection from this week's playlist, The Creation Of Us (S2), OGTV brings you the exciting countdown to the gender reveal of Heather and Christen's baby. Will it be a boy or a girl? **
Every couple expecting their first baby gets to this point. The pregnancy is getting to the third trimester, the anticipation from family and friends is starting to bubble, and the inevitable question begins to hover like an approaching thundercloud…what are you having? In this episode of The Creation of Us, the big question will be answered.
It's another milestone family event out at Heather and Christen's house in Westbury, Long Island. Since the latest sonogram, these ladies have pretty strong opinions of what's to come. "I've had so many dreams…I really feel boy, wholeheartedly!" Christen states confidently. "So do I," Heather echoed. "I've been saying that since the beginning that I really, really, really think it's a boy. I will be SO shocked if it's a girl….so shocked."
Christen is just about 6 months pregnant now and is amazed how quickly it has gone. "I don't know where the time went," she said. "I keep looking down at my stomach and I keep seeing it's growing and growing and growing."
Both families have been thinking a lot about their new grandchild. Heather's Mom Susan and Dad Charles are both leaning the same way. "I'm thinking a girl," Charles smiled, "I'd like to have a girl because I enjoyed my daughter when she was growing up."
Christen's Mom Charlene really doesn't know…she doesn't have a strong feeling either way. Her Stepdad Michael would be happy either way, but had a thought about what he thought they might like. "I would be hoping for them that it would be a girl," he said.
The time has come…. gather around…. this baby is coming soon and you are about to find out exactly what's in store for Heather and Christen.

These Kids Are Flipping Houses To Help Build Their Community
** OGTV's second GOOD STORY of the week is about a driven young lady who is doing quite well in the real estate world by flipping houses with her team of Elementary School kids. **
Reality TV has a number of shows that highlight the fast paced, rough and tumble world of house flipping featuring adults who specialize in this area. Enter 9 year old Alianna Hines – she is the boss and CEO of Junior Flips, LLC, a company run by kids that takes distressed properties and transforms them into beautifully renovated single family homes in Washington, DC. and Maryland.
In 2017, Alianna and 5 other Elementary School Kids ages 7 to 13 years old grew tired of traditional video games and watching TV. They had an inspirational chance meeting with Oprah Winfrey and with the help of a bit of seed money from one of their parents, they partnered up and launched Jr. Flips.
Alianna is a unique young lady. Along with Jr. Flips, she is an accomplished entrepreneur with multiple projects ranging from a makeup line to her own book that teaches kids how to start their own businesses. In the Real Estate world, her process is much like adult flippers but she knows how to focus the power and enthusiasm of kids to manage deadlines, inspections, conflicts, finances and all the other typical "adult" issues until she ultimately makes a profit. "It's good to work with kids, especially at my age," she explains. "I haven't seen any other thing like this on TV or Social Media. I feel like we are starting something new."
Alianna isn't in this business just for the extra allowance money. Once her team finishes a job and sells the renovated property, they reinvest the proceeds into the next property. She gives a large part of her profits back to the community, to help rebuild and enrich the lives around her and make it a better place to live. So far, Jr. Flips has earned over $300,000 and her goals are to flip 100 homes for 100 families, reach $1,000,000 in sales, and start a foundation that would build and run a camp where kids can learn all the skills they would need if they wanted to start a career of their own flipping houses.
Her Aunt Monique was a bit surprised when her niece spoke to her about her charitable ideas. "It showed me that even at a very young age, she is morally conscious about her family and community and it spoke to her character and her compassion for other people."
Don't be surprised if you start seeing a lot more about Alianna. She is also a motivational speaker, has appeared on the Steve Harvey Show (and gave him a Jr. Flips donation!), and was nominated for the Ebony 100 Power list. The sky's the limit for this rising star so launch the story and watch her soar.

New York's ‘Addiction Angel’ Helps Addicts Cure Their Disease
** Only Good TV celebrates National Nurse's Day with this story of one person's dedication on behalf of others.... something we need now more than ever.... **
There are angels all around us, like Alicia Reddy. This selfless woman, also known as Addiction Angel, wants nothing more than to help those struggling with the disease of addiction. She is a RN and a drug interventionist. Her passion with helping others started when 3 family members struggled with addiction and she was there to help.
Since she established Addiction Angel, she has given herself a name and given others life. When not working as a nurse at Staten Island University Hospital, Alicia is holding interventions or is on the phone-- guiding families and friends who are helping their loved ones fight through addiction.
She works tirelessly to get people the help they need; whether it be personally getting them into rehab or being available to talk anytime they need. She is available 24/7 and helps anyone who calls, even those who have been turned away from other places.
"My three nephews were addicted and now they're clean," she said. "They are my happy ending. I know others can do it too and I want to help them get there."
With all that she has done, it is no surprise she was given a Staten Island Advance Woman of Achievement award! She is literally an 'Addiction Angel.'
This video was produced by Kristiana Padavona and shot/edited Mark Belden.

The Creation of Us (S2:E4) – A 30/60/90 Celebration
** In this second selection from this week's playlist, The Creation Of Us (S2), OGTV invites you to Christen's 30th birthday party where we discover something special about 3 generations of women in her family. **
The love and closeness of families can be traced to the traditions that are passed down that bind them together. In this episode of The Creation Of Us, Heather and Christen invite us in to share a unique event that links 3 generations of Christen's family in a special way.
It's Christen's 30th birthday and there is a party happening in the Westbury, Long Island home she shares with Heather. But she is not the only one being celebrated!
"We're having a joint birthday party for Christen, her Mom, and her Grandmother," Heather explained. "It is 30-60-90 birthday, they are all 30 years apart in the same month, which is insane to me."
The three generations, perfectly spaced across time, will soon be joined by Christen's baby who is following perfectly in the mold set by her Mom and Grandma. "I knew last year that this time I was going to be pregnant," Christen revealed. "I wanted it so bad, to keep the tradition going."
From Big Bird, to Baby Bop, to Barney, Christen's Mom always went all out for birthdays when she was growing up. "It always made me feel so special," Christen recalled, "so that is one tradition I want to pass down."
Grandma has fond memories, too. "Well, I think her first birthday she put her foot in the cake," Grandma remembered. "It was very appetizing!"
Family and friends have gathered from all over the area to celebrate these 3 women, and with the new baby on the way, all are fondly remembering the good times past while also looking forward with excitement and hope to the future. Come and join in the fun…this party has it all….embarrassing stories, fun gifts, and three amazing cakes … one for each of the 30/60/90 birthday girls.
