10 Life Lessons My Dad Taught Me
Alexia Smith

In the 19 years of my life my Dad has always been my hero. His life lessons that he has taught me, are what makes me into the woman I am today. His care and respect for people are what makes him so special to me. Here is just a little tribute to the number one man in my life.

1. Respect Other Cultures, Religions, and Thoughts

In my life I have never heard my dad say a bad name to anyone. He keeps his thoughts to himself and does not look down on people.

2. See The World

My father has given me the opportunity to see the world. He has made sure that I had the best experiences to be able to see different perspectives from all around the world.

3. Dress To Impress

Ozzy Osborne meets Danny Tanner.

4. You Are Never Too Old To Do The Things You Love

Just because you are a dad, does not mean you have to give up on the things your love. My dad loves to play his electric guitar, attend music festivals and even watch Nacho Libre one too many times

5. Be An Amazing Host

Ocktoberfest, Pizza Parties, and Fight Nights are just some of the most incredible parties my dad has cooked and hosted for. He uses his many skills and talents to fellowship to the community and to our friends.

6. Push Yourself

My Dad has always pushed me to become my best self. He showcases healthy habits, and truly lives by example.

7. Look for A Man Who Treats You With Respect

In the 22 plus years they have been married, my mom and dad have been a true power couple. He loves my mom with such an undying spirit and respects her choices and words.

8. Always Know How To Have Fun

9. Be There For Family

My Dad has always been there for my family. He has been the main support system in our life by providing for us and making sure we are well cared for.

10. Trust God And Everything Else Will Fall Into Place

Trust God. Fear God. Live the way He intended.

A big thanks to my dad for all of those early morning carpools, my college education, pizza addiction and always being the best parent I could of asked for.

Much Love,

Alexia

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.
