“Nobody Claps Until Everyone Does: The Hidden Truth About Struggle and Success” By Ruby Dalvina Hello dear readers, Let’s be honest — the road to becoming something is one of the loneliest highways you’ll ever walk. When you’re struggling, trying, failing, restarting, and surviving on faith and caffeine, the world rarely claps. But the day you finally “make it,” suddenly, the same silence that once surrounded you turns into applause. It’s strange, isn’t it? How people seem to see you only when the spotlight hits you, not when you were building the stage in the dark. The truth is, nobody claps until everyone does. The Psychology Behind Why People Don’t Care Until You Succeed Psychologically, most people are drawn to results, not processes. We live in a results-driven culture where achievements, status, and visible success act as social proof. When you’re struggling, your potential isn’t “validated” yet.

And yes, I’ll pepper in a little humour (respectfully) because otherwise we might drift off into doom-scroll territory, and what a waste of...

  The Table Soup Kitchen Foundation: Where Hope Finds a Seat By: Ruby Dalvina Dear Reader, Today, I want to take you on a journey into the heart of a remarkable nonprofit in Huntsville, Ontario — The Table Soup Kitchen Foundation. This is not just an organization, but a living story of compassion, dignity, and community, and I feel deeply moved to share it with you. When I first connected with Amy Snow, Volunteer Coordinator at The Table Soup Kitchen Foundation, I was instantly struck by her warmth. Our very first conversation didn’t feel like an introduction — it felt like reconnecting with someone I had known for years. That experience revealed something profound to me: if this is how The Table’s team treats a stranger like me, with such dignity and kindness, I can only imagine how beautifully they embrace the people who walk through their doors seeking help. Soon after, I also had the chance to speak with Heather Cassie, Founder and Executive Director. It was inspiring to hear d...
