Unless you live under a rock, you've probably heard all the buzz around Rachel Hollis's new book, "Girl, Wash Your Face." If you haven't read this book, run (not walk) to the closest Barnes and Noble and pick it up if you want to feel like a totally new person when you finish. So many people struggle with feeling like they aren't enough (myself included), so if you want to make a change, pull yourself together and wrap yourself in positivity (which is exactly what this book will do).

1. "Girl, get a hold of your life. Stop medicating, stop hiding out, stop being afraid, stop giving away pieces of yourself, stop saying you can't do it. Stop the negative self-talk. Stop abusing your body, stop putting it off for tomorrow or Monday or next year. Stop crying about what happened and take control of what happens next. Get up, right now. Rise up from where you've been, scrub away the tears and pain of yesterday, and start again... Girl, wash your face!"

2. "Turns out, the most beautiful things in my life were never on my to-do list." 

3. "When you really want something, you will find a way. When you don't really want something, you will find an excuse." 

4. "You don't grow or change or become who you want to be by sitting in one place. You become that person when once you take a leap of faith, and you're flying through the air, and you have no idea if you have a parachute, how you're gonna land, and you don't know what to do. That's how you become who you were meant to be... so jump." 

5. "Our words have power, but our actions shape our lives."

6. "You must choose to be happy, grateful, and fulfilled. If you make that choice every single day, regardless of where you are at or what's happening, you will be happy." 

7. "As long as you allow someone to treat you badly, they will continue to do so. If you're not able to value yourself, no one else will either." 

8. "... you're not in control of what life throws at you, you are in control of the fight." 

9. "Embracing chaos might be the journey we take to finding peace." 

10. "You cannot ignore your pain. You cannot ever leave it behind completely. The only thing you can do is find a way to embrace the good that came out of it." 

I hope you realize how enough you really are. We are all on our own journey, but it's all about how we embrace both the highs and lows that shapes our life.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
