A Love Letter To My Dogs
Sheila Crosby

Dear Teddy and Lucy,

I want to apologize for not being home every second of every day and giving you all the love you deserve. You know, you've both given me more than love than probably anyone in the world, besides my human family. I really don't know what I would do without you guys and I just wanted to thank you for being in my life.

Thank you, Lucy, for jumping on me every time I walk in the door and barking at me as I go swimming to protect me from whatever is out there. I love your bushy tail and how you always come and rest your head on my knee if you think I'm sad. I know it's hard for you because a lot of people give Teddy so much love, but I want you to know that I love you no matter how big you are or how you scratch the windows sometimes. Please keep rolling over for me and wagging your tail every time you see me because honestly it makes my day. You are truly a woman's best friend and our family is lucky to have you.

Teddy, I want to tell you that you are honestly the cutest boy I've ever kissed, hugged and cuddled with. I get so overcome with emotion when you jump into bed with me that I can't help but just squeeze you tight. Thank you for watching Game of Thrones with me every Sunday, even though I know you don't understand what the heck is going on. Deep down, I think you really do know what I'm saying when I tell you I love you and I want to take you back to school with me. When you make your little squealing noise when I walk through the door, I can't help but laugh because it's just so adorable. I'm sorry we gave you about fifty names (Theodore, Theo, Teddy) but I think you got the hang of it. Teddy, you're the sweetest dog in the whole wide world and thank you for giving me so much love.

Yeah, it might be a little much that I'm writing a love letter to my dogs, but so? Don't you wish they could understand you and know how much you love them? I really wish they could, but since I don't speak dog (I mean I kind of do, but that's another story), then I might as well share my love for them to people who do understand. Maybe, just maybe, next time I sprint to pet a dog, you'll understand why. My dogs have truly become part of my family and I haven't met a single person who doesn't agree.

Love,

Your sister Sami

(Lucy)

(Teddy)

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.
