An Open Letter To My Mom

Every day we, as children, never really stop and think about the ones who have carried us through life. We don’t call them up and just thank them for everything they have done to help us. Our mothers have done so much for us, even starting with giving us life. There is nothing more important in this world than your mother. Although we might not thank them each day, it does not mean we love them any less. The love between a mother and daughter is never ending.This is for all the mothers that should know just how special they are.

Dear Mom,

I have never really thanked you for all you have done for me. I could have never gotten to the point in my life where I am now without your help and guidance. You were always there to provide me with the things I needed and wanted. You stretched yourself so thin so I could have the childhood you never had. You allowed me to play soccer, to dance, to do gymnastics and never once did you complain about driving me around. We also took so many ski trips, just so you could share something you love with me and that I will cherish forever.

You did more though than just provide the material things for me. You were always there to pick me up when I was down. You helped me get through the rough patches in life and always told me things would be okay. I couldn’t have survived this far without you. I hope to someday become a woman that is as strong and independent as you.

Each day you never cease to amaze me with all the incredible things you do. You work full time and take care of me and my brother and three dogs. You worked so hard that because of you I get to go to my dream college. You are wonder woman.

Even though I might not tell you this every day, I do appreciate everything you have done for me. I love you to the moon and back. I would never want anyone else as a mother. When I was born not only were you blessed with a beautiful baby girl, but I was blessed with a beautiful amazing mother.

With Love Forever and Always,

Your 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.
