About My Godmother
Kayla Giraud

As many people know, I have quite a large family. I've been blessed with the best cousins, aunts and uncles. One of these aunts happens to be my godmother, and I'm so so proud to be able to say that.

Despite the trials she has, she never complains, she never fails to worry about everyone else and worry about making them happy. She has a heart of gold I’ve seen in very few people.

I don't know what I would do without her constant text messages saying how much she loves me and to have a great day, or the fact that she listens and pays attention to everything I say, even when no one else does. There's never been a time she's steered me in the wrong direction or failed to surprise me.

My aunt is an extraordinary woman. I’m very thankful to have as another mom for me. Truthfully, I don't think I could put into words what she means to me. My aunt has taught me what it means to be a fighter.

She has taught me what it means to be brave. She fought cancer and beat it. I know my aunt is a survivor. She is one of the strongest people I have ever met. Her strength, determination and positive demeanor are inspiring. She has had such an impact on so many people’s lives, including my own. I only wish I was able to do half of doing the things she does.

She is beyond amazing in every way with her generosity, thoughtfulness and talents she continues to use to help other people.

She taught me what it means to have faith and she taught what it means to not give up. My aunt has never given up. She's my hero and if I have inherited any kind of trait from her at all, then I know I'm a better person because of it.

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.
