An Open Letter To Moms Everywhere
Mommy and Me - Stephanie Kleid

Dear Wonderful Mothers,

From the moment your kids came into your life, you have given them nothing but all of the undivided attention and unconditional love they deserve. You changed their diapers, helped them walk, fed them when they were hungry, drove them all over the place to get to play dates and games and practices. You helped them with their homework as best you could, tried to make them feel less awkward throughout those awkward years, helped them strive for the best, and were there for them through every up and down they have faced up until this very moment (and will continue to do so forever). You've been Super Mom day-in, and day-out, even though you may not always feel like it.

You sometimes feel like your hard-work, dedication, and unconditional love can go unnoticed or unappreciated (especially during those moody, angsty teenage years). You sometimes feel like everything you have done, and everything you do falls short. You sometimes feel like nothing you do is good enough.

I promise you, Mom, that's the farthest thing from the truth. In reality, it is a well-known fact amongst us kids that we would be nowhere without our moms. Though we may not always show it in the best way, or at all, the truth is that you mean the world to us. From Day One, you have shown us everything we needed to see, taught us everything we needed to know, and loved us in a way that no one else ever will. Because of you, we are healthier, smarter, stronger, braver, and happier. Because of you, we have all of the tools we will ever need to succeed in our careers, relationships, love, and life. Because of you, we are the person we are today, and we can't thank you enough. There is no one in this world who can compare to you.

So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Mom, for everything you have ever done, everything you continue to do, and everything you will do for us in the future. You are our rock, our world, our Super Hero, and though it may sometimes be hard to tell, we love you and appreciate you. We couldn't have asked for a better role model, or a better mother, than you.

With all the love in our hearts,

Your Children

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.
