18 Thoughts you Have in Pigeon Forge, TN (and surrounding areas)
Motel 6 Pigeon Forge

1. Does Ripley's own everything around here?

There's the Ripley's Aquarium, the Believe it or not place, Old MacDonald's Farm Mini Golf, Davy Crockett Mini Golf, and a movie theater! You name it, and the Ripley name is probably on it.

2. It costs HOW much to do that? Well, I guess if you do a combo, that's a deal.

Seriously, some of these attractions are pricey.

3. (While cruising the parkway) Is this what deja vu is like??

When I visit Sevier County, I feel like the whole town repeats itself every 5 miles.

4. Let's get old-time photos made!

They are really cute, and pictures are fun.

5. Who's up for go-kart races? What about putt-putt?

Pick a theme and go for it! There are so many tracks and courses to choose from!

6. How in the world do all these Christmas stores stay open year-round?

It's a Christmas miracle, I guess.

7. Is it really moonshine if it's legal?

In my personal opinion, no. Definitely not. If you can buy it in broad daylight, it's not MOONshine. This stuff is a disgrace.

8. Fudge, flapjacks, and fun. That's Gatlinburg.

Should I add flannel for the Lumberjack Dinner show? Whatever, we are definitely getting fudge for dessert afterward.

9. So much chocolate, so many smells, so many lights.

Seriously, my senses are a little overloaded. Between the flashing signs, fair food smells, and abundance of things to see, my brain is frazzled.

10. Whoa! So, that's how taffy is made.

That's pretty cool. I could watch it spin forever.

11. If you like beef jerky, this is the town for you.

Y'all, there are 4, yes 4, Beef Jerky Outlets in Sevier County. Meat-lovers rejoice!

12. I thought those $9.99 or less stores were only for, like, party beach towns. I guess I thought wrong.

Wait, am I at the beach? No, there's the mountains. Hmm. Okay then.

13. I mean, I've always heard that dinner was better with a show, but which one??

The Dixie Stampede, Hatfields and McCoys, Lumberjack Feud, and the Comedy Barn all sound fun!

14. Jesus, Elvis, bears, food, rides, crafts, sex stores, this place has it all!

There really is something for everyone here. You will find whatever you are looking for.

15. But seriously, why are there SO many sex stores? Just why?

Half the town is loving Jesus, and the other loves this "stuf".

16. Ooohhh a drive-in chapel. Let's get married.

No, wait. Yeah, you're right. Let's not.

17. Let's head to the cabin and relax awhile.

The rockers are comfy, and the Smokies are breathtaking. Take it all in while you rock and sip on some sweet tea.

18. This is a cool place. Let's come back!

All jokes aside, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg are all pretty neat places. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

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.
