A Grimm Tale

Running through the woods chased by a rushing bear

A Grimm Tale
International Business Times

Ah, the Woman in the Woods, wandering, muttering, posing. Such a grim tale she suffers from. Not chased by the Wolf but a rushing Bear. Once it was foretold that she, yes she, would be the first to sit in the same chair and the same office where her husband once dallied. But now she wanders in the woods, imagining that a bear put in the forest was the cause of her demise. The bear and that other creature the Come-dy man. Oh the Huma-nity of it all!

Her mind screams at her "but you were ordained to be the first, you deserve it because you do, you must because you spent all this time with..... him..... my God all that time with..... him...... and now what to show for it? Grimly wandering in the woods constantly looking for that bear or the evil Come-dy man or worse yet having to, ick, pose with people. Who are these people who wish to take a selfie with me, from what basket did they come?

"How could I have lost? " It must be that damn bear and that evil man. "Of course, yes that must be it, because after all look at me, I wear pants suits for God sakes! Hmm, maybe people think I have no legs? No that could not be it.

"Oh and my charisma, I watch reruns after reruns of Hillary Highlights, (giggles), dodging sniper fire in Bosnia, cooking up the video for the story line in Libya. I am so charismatic just ask the Gold Man, and smart! Why do you think I wear pants? Can you imagine how many less votes if anyone saw my legs?"

The bear, the funny man, they are responsible for that man in the tower defeating me. It could not, was not, nor will I ever admit it was me. They all better watch out, I have an axe now, and I am going to hack at their precious victory.

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.
