Electric Beach: A Playlist As Hot As August

Not to incite panic here, but in case you didn’t realize, it’s August. The peak of summer has passed and the days are growing shorter. Have you met your summer goals yet?

The good news is that there is still at least a solid month or more of swimsuit season left – several weeks of slow, sultry, sun-drenched days at your disposal to make the most of our beautiful Michigan beaches.

To inspire you to get out from behind your desk and haul yourself to the nearest shore, I’ve comprised a playlist. This mix is euphoric and heady; it’s lusty, lazy, and a little drunk. Lay back and listen. Feel the sun drying the lake water off your skin, the foamy waves licking your toes, and the sand running through your fingers. Savor summer before it’s gone.

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.
