The Book Fairies

The book fairy movement is growing slowly but surely world wide thanks to people who love books. Part of the reason why the movement is so successful, I think, is due to the fact that anyone can join in. Young or old, famous (such as the actress and feminist Emma Watson) or just little, nobody me from Ironton, Ohio. It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from or what sparked your passion for literacy, as long as you have an extra favorite book and a want to spread the joy of reading it to someone else, you can get you book fairy wings. I first found out about the Book Fairies on "National Women's Day" when I saw Emma Watson post videos and pictures of herself on social media leaving women activist books with Book Fairy Trademark stickers and ribbons all over locations and monuments honoring famous women who have changed the world one way or another over the years.

I loved the idea that someone, somewhere had found a way so simple and effortless to spread love and literacy had somehow become large enough for someone like Emma Watson to support and be an active part of. Since then, not only has Watson done many more book drops of her own, but I have also gotten some wings of my own. I have closely followed the Book Fairy Worldwide pages and I have dropped quite a few books off in my months of planning. The feeling of pure glee and mystery when you return to the scene and see that your book is gone never gets old.

I strive to leave books that were just a pure joy to read and those that honestly helped me through some part of my life in hopes that they will do the same for someone else. In the world we live in today, it is hard to find people who truly appreciate the power of the written word and it is people out there like the common Book Fairy who give me hope that one day, a little girl somewhere in this world will be reading a book and eating up every word like I once did and still do to this day.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
