The dynamic duo have been traveling the world inspiring others to do the same.

2. Officers Respond To Couple Who Refused To Sit By Them

On Friday July 8th, the day after five officers were shot and killed in Dallas, officer Chuck Thomas and three colleagues decided to enjoy a meal at an Eat'n Park near Pittsburgh. A couple was about to be seated next to the officers but made it very clear they did not want to be seated across from the police. So instead of making a scene or being mad Thomas responded with grace by picking up the couples tab and adding a ten dollar tip. "I wanted to break the tension and say, we're human, too," he said. "And we want to be treated as such. We're not all bad guys. We're here for the public. We're here for you. We're public servants, bottom line." Thomas told TODAY.

3. Five-Year-Old Boy Takes His "Best Friend In The World" On An Adorable First Date

Five-year-old Freddie Gibson asked his parents what a date was and once the details had been explained he decided to ask his best friend Dee Dee on a first date. Freddie sent Dee Dee a letter asking her to go on a date with him once she turned five (because four is simply to young) and saved up his birthday money to pay for their meal. When the day came for their first date Freddie got Dee Dee a bouquet of flowers and the young couple went to their favorite restaurant, Pizza Express. The staff at the restaurant even threw in a desert decorated with hearts. Guys could learn a thing or two from Freddie and his chivalry.

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.
