An Open Letter To My Mom, Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day, Mom! You are the easiest person to celebrate. Thank you for your endless advice and much needed hugs. I don't know what I would do without my built in therapist, advice giver, and constant supporter.

Thank you for giving me the best life any daughter could ask for. You have taught me what self worth means and the importance of loving others. You radiate joy everywhere you go and have never met a stranger.

From providing a roof over our heads to always having our favorite foods stocked in the cabinet, I am so grateful for everything you do.

Thank you for constantly pushing me to be a better version of myself and making sure I am living up to my potential. I don't know where I 'd be or what I would do without your constant encouragement and reminders that everything will be okay.

If I have learned anything from you from the past years it's, you are always right. There, I said it. You always know when something's wrong without me even saying anything.

You have shown such strength in every stage of life, as I have grown up. I don't know how you managed your own business, in the midst of being a mom of 5 kids. It didn't matter what was going on at work, you were always so present when you were home.

You focused on us can cared about every silly story we would make up to you. Thank you for constantly supporting and pushing me in everything I do. Every swim meet, basketball game, track meet or school trip you were there. You will always be my number one fan.

I could always count on your for standing up for me and teaching me how to do that on my own. I can only hope I am half the woman and mom you are one day. You have taught me more than I could ever imagine.

Thank you for loving me unconditionally and being a role model that no one could ever compare to.

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.
