A Letter To Our New President

Congratulations. Democracy has done its job, and you have been elected as our new leader. Hopefully, you will respect the office and the millions of people you now represent. As our new leader, there is something I want you to know... I will pray for you.

I will pray that you always do what is best for our country, not what is best for you or what is the easy decision to make. I know that there will be decisions you have to make that we the people will never know about. I know that won't be easy. Hopefully, you will make the right ones.

I pray that you think about the decisions you are making and how they will impact everyone you are representing. It doesn't matter how insignificant the impact might seem to you, every decision you make will affect all of us. I pray that you realize that.

I pray that you have the strength and the courage to actually make the tough decision. Doing the right thing isn't always easy, but it is necessary when you are a leader.

I pray that you are honest. It is easy for politicians to become corrupt. I hope that you stay honest in all that you do and do not get sucked into the lies and corruption that seem to surround the town in which you now live.

I pray you lead the country not just with honesty, but with morality. I pray that you truly recognize the difference between right and wrong and do not ignore the line that separates the two.

Being the president is not going to be an easy task. It may be more overwhelming than you expected at some points. Because of this, I pray for comfort and for calming. I pray that you are able to relax and get your head straight when you become overwhelmed.

I pray that you look out for us... the American people. The people that elected you into the office you now hold. The people whose lives you hold in your hands. The people that put their faith in you. The people that are trusting you to do the right thing for them. the people who are now waiting and hoping with their fingers crossed that everything will be okay.

I know this is not an easy 9-5 job, but a 24 hour a day job. I know that this will take a toll on you and your family, but it is my prayer that you stay strong. I pray for strength for both you and your family. I pray that you all will well representAmerica and all that we stand for.

I pray that you will help our country become a leading nation and not dig us further into the hole we are already in.

So again, congratulations and good luck.

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.
