Thank you, Mom, for everything that you do for me.

Dear Mom,

I'd like to start off by saying that I hope this makes up for missing spending Mother's Day with you for the first time ever this year. Unfortunately, college takes me away from the holidays and family celebrations. But let's not dwell on the sad stuff! Words cannot even begin to describe how much I love you and how much you mean to me. I am a very lucky girl to have you as a role model and also a best friend. You are very special to me, and I am exceedingly grateful that God gave me you. You love without boundary and have the biggest heart. There are so many things I want to thank you for so here they are!

Thank you for your constant support. You always tell me that the sky is the limit and that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. I can always come and vent to you and know that you are listening. You are there to lift me up when I am feeling down, and you know how to put a smile on my face.

Thank you for always boosting my confidence. You never let me down when it comes to letting me know that I look beautiful or in a gown or T-shirt and jeans. You remind me that I can be myself and love every part of myself. You have supported me every time I've dyed my hair (and we both know it's getting out of hand). You let me know when certain things don't really look good on me, but that's OK because I know you are just looking out for me.

Thank you for being my best friend. You make me laugh and are my partner in crime. I love our shopping sprees and fun adventures. You are always there to listen and you give great hugs! I love cooking with you and watching "Say Yes to the Dress" together. We have a very special bond that nothing and no one can come between. I can constantly count on you to go on late-night ice cream trips with and to buy new shoes! You never turn down wanting to watch our favorite chick flicks together. You are someone I can always depend on.

Thank you for being an awesome role model. You are the perfect role model in my eyes. You are independent and have made your dreams come true. Mom, you are the strongest person I know. Even though you are hurting, you manage to keep a smile on your face. We have been through deaths, but you manage to be my shoulder to cry on. You don't let other people walk all over you, and you always stand up for yourself. I hope to be as strong of a woman as you are as I grow older.

I just want to thank you for being the best mother in the world and for doing all the things you do for our family. You are one-of-a-kind, and I cannot imagine living without you.

I love you more than there are stars in the sky. Thanks for being you!

Love,

Your favorite daughter

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.
