Ever since the day your mom and dad got married I have been praying and dreaming of becoming an aunt. James 1:17 says, "every good and precious gift is from above." And he has truly blessed us all with you. You are so special to me sweet girl. I will never forget when your parents told me that I was going to be an aunt. I was overjoyed. I've been waiting for you to get here like everyone else has and now that you are here I could not be happier. You are absolutely perfect.

You made me an aunt, you will always have a special place in my heart. I wouldn't trade you for the world. The first time I laid eyes on you and I heard you whimper you stole my heart. I never knew I could adore something as much as I adore you. I love you sweet baby girl.

My wish for you is when you get old and you happen to read this you will know that I have loved you from the very second I found out I was going to be your aunt. I will be here for you through the ups and downs in life. My arms always open for you to run into when you need them to hold you. I feel so honored that I get a front row seat to your life. To watch you grow and prosper in everything you do. I cannot wait to watch that happen. I cannot wait to see your relationship with God grow. You are such a blessing to your families life, to my life.

Madeline Rae, I am always going to be here when you need me. I will always be there for you. I will always encourage you. I will always love you. I'm so honored to be your aunt. I cannot express how thankful and blessed I am for you to be able to call me Aunt Kenz.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made. My prayer for you that you grow and bloom beautifully all throughout your life. To "be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." As Joshua 1:19 says. You have a bright future ahead of my sweet girl.

I love you,

Aunt Kenz

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
