My Dearest Little One,

You may not know who I am yet, but I already love you more than words can explain. You see, little, I loved you before I knew who you were. I loved the thought of having someone look up to me. I loved your smile, laugh, and charisma before I even met you. I loved your charm, wit, and passion. I loved you so much!

When I met you, I knew you would be the perfect addition to our sisterhood. We are so lucky to have you! I couldn't imagine my sorority without you in it. You fit in so perfectly to our diverse group of girls. Everyone loves you!

But, little, I have to say I love you just a tiny bit more. It's my job! A big and little have such a precious relationship, and as your big I want to promise you a few things.

I promise to always love you. I promise to take you for ice cream when you have a bad day. I promise to pick you up late at night when you call and I'm asleep, and I promise not to be mad about it. I promise to help you with your homework, to go to philanthropy events with you, and to participate in everything possible with you by my side. I promise to mentor you, to point you in the right direction, to steer you clear of harms way. I promise to take the cutest pictures with you and of you. I promise to be protective, but not overprotective. I promise to always be the big you need me to be, and to never abandon you.

I can't wait to spend so many precious days with you by my side, little. I can't wait to see you grow up, flourish in our sisterhood, be a leader, and someday get a little of your very own! I already have such high aspirations for you, because as your big sister that's my job- to help you strive to be the best you can be.

Little, you have already inspired me to be so much more than I thought I could be. You push me to want to be better, so that I can be an inspiration to you-- just as my big was to me. I now strive to be a kinder, more thoughtful, loving person because I want to be an example for you.

They say a little is so lucky to have a great big, but I say the opposite; I am so lucky to have you, little one. Thank you for being the perfect little for me; and here's to all of the adventures we will have together.

Love,

Your Big

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.
