A Letter To My Godchild

I never knew what true love was, until I laid eyes on you. I was so excited for you to be here, but I never knew just how much I would love you. I'll never forget the day Mommy told me you were in her tummy or the day you were on your way into the world. You are still oh-so tiny, but made me oh-so happy. From your head to your toes, every thing about you is so perfect. I'll never forget the first time I held you, the first time you smiled, or even your first "coo." I've always wanted kids, but you make the waiting to have my own easier because I can give all my lovins to you.

And when you're older, just know my love for you will never change, but that it will only grow stronger. I'll still buy you everything with an elephant or Batman sign on it. And when Mommy and Daddy tell you no, I will probably tell you yes. I'll still spoil you rotten and give you tons of kisses, even though they will be gross to you, once you realize girls have cooties. I can't wait for you to start crawling and talking. I definitely can't wait for you to take your first steps, but I wouldn't mind if you stayed this little forever.

Oh, how you make my days brighter. I can't help but smile when Mommy sends me a picture of your sweet smile. My day instantly is so much better. Not to mention when I get to see you, I just realize how blessed I am. So blessed that Mommy chose me to be your godmom to have even more lovin' than you already get. You truly are such a blessing to so many people, and especially to me. I can't wait for the day you say "nini" and truly know who I am. I always and will continue to thank God every day for you. And I'll forever be thankful that Mommy and Daddy chose me to be in your life. You'll always be so perfect to me and loved so much.

Love you to the moon and back, Cooper.

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.
