We all had a long year because CVOID-19 SUCKS! I miss my friends and family so much, but there are still ways to bring people kindness and love when you can't see them so closely.

1. Send someone flowers or another gift

People loving gifts during the pandemic and it's good for small businesses too.

2. Text or call someone to literally say hello

When a friend gives me a phone call just to check in, I know I am not alone during this crisis.

3. Or even video chat

I set up video calls with friends - it's not the same as in person but it will do okay for now and will show others that you are keeping in touch with them.

4. Send a card

I sent holiday cards and just greeting cards this year to help people cope with the pandemic and they were so popular that I made more to send out.

5. Have a social distance date

See your friends, but be smart. Keep in touch when you can but social distance and don't let your guard down.

6. Host a virtual get together

Invite others to get together to show support through video chats. I had a virtual reunion with my friends who I met in Israel and it was a blast.

7. Donate

Now is the time to donate money, food, clothes, anything as people are being laid off due to COVID-19.

8. Thank workers

Individuals don't always have the choice to work from home, especially nurses, so be thankful.

9. Show patience

This thing will end soon, do your best, and be patient with others.

10. Be kind to yourself and others - BE NICE!

Just be nice - everyone is going through hard stuff.

Be Kind. Always.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
