I drove up with some friends to Flagstaff for Fall break. I had never been, but I had heard it was beautiful. I wanted to capture that beauty.

Roadtrip

Lisa Diethelm

Nothing says adventure like an open road and a ginormous sky. This was just outside of Sedona

1. Trees!

Lisa Diethelm

I camped in the woods off of Woody Mountain Road in Flagstaff. This is from the first morning. There were so many trees there. Everywhere you look there were more and more trees. It was peaceful to just sit there and take in the view.

2. Melting dew

Lisa Diethelm

I missed the sunrise, but I didn't miss the dew melting off of everything. This little weed caught my eye because it looked so much greener than the ground.

Something grey

Lisa Diethelm

At times I felt like it rained the whole weekend. It even hailed at one point. The sun will be out and shinning and then, boom! The sky turned grey and the rain just came down.

White as snow

Lisa Diethelm

It snowed one night, and it all melted in the morning. I sort of gave up on camping and stayed at a friend's house. I found this flower in her front yard. I like weird angles. This flower was still alive but it was limping. I tried the upside down approach for the shot.

A sunset 

Lisa Diethelm

I liked the purple and the pinks in the sky. It was super windy and I was freezing but I got my butt outside to capture the beauty.

Rainbow

Lisa Diethelm

This was on Route 17. It had just stopped raining and the sun started to break through the clouds. Out of all the rainbows I've seen, this half rainbow is by far the prettiest one.

Stranded

Lisa Diethelm

Looking for that signal or modeling for a new album cover? The world may never know.

Ollie

Lisa Diethelm

"This is sooooo ammmaaazziiinnnngggg!" said Ollie. He was right.

More sunsets

Lisa Diethelm

I mean, look at this. The sky was at least four different colors.

Last one I swear

Lisa Diethelm

I thought this shot summed up my weekend. It was cloudy and rainy, but everything I saw was so beautiful. Sometimes, the Earth reminds us how cool it really is.

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.
