A Tribute to Thanksgiving; An Overlooked Holiday!

Thanksgiving is usually overlooked between two major holidays that everyone loves to make a big deal out of. Halloween and Christmas are huge holidays that usually make money in their own way. When Halloween is done Christmas products are all over the stores. This creates a sad overlook over a holiday that has so many different loving benefits.

Thanksgiving is a time for family just like Christmas but the benefit for Thanksgiving is being able to spend time with family and friends without having to spend money on costumes and gifts for everyone. It creates an environment that can make everyone feel thankful and special bonding so family and friends can grow closer. Thanksgiving gets everyone in the kitchen to pitch in and for all those football fans out there the games are all on! This can also let the kids watch the morning parade before the games and lift the house with sounds of being happy laughter and love.

Food is always a good way to bring family together! Thanksgiving is a day of food and being thankful for everything you have in life. Its a time to put aside our differences and bond together as family and friends. This allows grandparents to bake with their grandchildren; for sons, brothers, fathers, even mothers and daughters to watch the parades and games and for everyone to end their days cuddle up with hot apple cider or hot chocolate going around the living room saying what you are thankful for.

So getting past the big decorations and giant scene Halloween or Christmas can cause Thanksgiving provides a calm and intimate way to reconnect with family! So have a great Thanksgiving!

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.
