The Feeling When You Can't Locate Your Phone Or Wallet

You're in the car driving away from a new restaurant. An odd feeling overwhelms you, and your stomach drops. You feel something is missing.

Frantically, you reach inside your purse or pockets. Thank God, you find your phone there. In a moment of small relief, you realize you don't see your wallet.

Stop the car.

Pull over.

I swear I placed my wallet in my purse and zipped it up moments ago. Does any one else in the car see it? Its a small pink zipper wallet.

Everybody up. All hands on deck to search the car. Check the trunk, under the seats, it has to be in the door, look in the center console once more.

You're already on your way back to the restaurant. Weird looks from confused costumers and the nosy waiters interrogation raises anxiety.

"How did you know to ask if I was looking for something?"

Loosing all hope before it even gets to that point. Call the credit card company. Cancel everything.

"Hope you didn't have anything of value in that wallet."

Either thanking God you cleaned up your wallet and didn't, or racking your brain to remember all the things you had in there.

Call the DMV. You need to be issued another driver's license.

Call the credit card company. Verify no crazy transactions have been made, and You need a new card.

All your other identification cards, you need to get those re-issued as well.

Thinking back and wondering how you could have lost it, or how it could have been stolen. At what point did I have my purse open for it to fall out. Why didn't you notice it fall out? Could somebody have swiped it so smoothly with out my knowledge?

Every possibility seems impossible, yet the wallet is still nowhere to be found.

All there is left to do is drive to the mall with your updated licence to swipe your new credit card to buy another wallet.

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.
