I Love Gram Because...

She is kind, loving, and completely selfless.

Christmas is the best time of year. Such a special season of celebrating the birth of our savior grows even more special when Gram (and Toto) come to town!

Italian cooking is Gram's specialty! This year she made delicious manicotti and meatballs. We all love spending time with Gram. Featured in the video are some of the fun memories we made this Christmas.

Gram has always had the tradition of decorating Christmas cookies with her grandchildren. It is my favorite tradition and something I always look forward to!

Gram means so much to her family and friends. She is kind, caring, and completely selfless. Her love is unconditional and I am so glad we get to spend Christmas with her every year!

When asked the question, "why do you love Gram?" these are the responses I received:

"I love Gram because...

...she makes the best meatballs in the world." -Nicholas (grandson)

...she has a busy life, but she still puts family first. Family is the most important thing to her." -Toni (daughter)

...she is always there for us." -Jon (son-in-law)

...she has always loved her family well." -Lisa (daughter)

...I love her voluminous stories about groomers and doggie spas...and I love her giving spirit and kind heart." -Jay (son-in-law)

...she will do anything for her family. She drove 10 hours for one weekend to see me in the Nutcracker when I was little." -Emily (granddaughter)

...she says she will pay for all my speeding tickets" -Truitt (grandson)

We love you SO much Gram!

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.
