Dear Grandma

I love you more than your homemade cookies, and that's saying a lot.

Dear Grandma

Dear Grandma,

As I sit back and reflect on my life I can’t help but see a common theme. That theme is you. You are always there when I need you the most. You know how to turn any bad day into a great one. You always know exactly what to say to make everything better. My entire life you’ve been my number one fan. You never missed a game or chance to support me in any way. You always put me and the rest of my family before yourself. I don’t think that there will ever be enough words to say thank you for all that you have done for me.

In my entire life I’ve always looked up to you. You’ve inspired me in more ways than one. You’ve taught me that when I’m stressed, scared, or anything else I always have you and God to turn to. You have given me a different perspective on life. While we may have grown up in different times you always make it clear that respect and love should never disappear with time. With your old ways you’ve taught me to have respect and to always be classy. You never forget to ask me how my day is, and that alone makes me happy. You always seem to boost my confidence and make me feel confident even when you don’t know I need to hear it.

You always keep my stomach and heart full. Most of my favorite memories are from cooking in your kitchen and hearing stories of your past. You have taught me that true love will always last. Most importantly you have taught me that no matter how hard things get in life you can always work through them and that family will always come first. You have always been my backbone, given me so many life lessons, memories, and the purest of love. No matter what you will always be my favorite person. I’ll never be able to fully thank you for everything you have done for me. You have shaped me into the person I am today. Time spent with you is my favorite and I couldn’t be more thankful for the time we share. I love you oh so much.

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.
