"Uncertainty"

This is a word that makes most people nervous and heart rates go up. We constantly and consistently deal with this within our daily lives and of course, it can be either based on a change that can affect our whole lives or just a simple decision. Either way, this can definitely make you feel like everything is all mixing together. In these times, it is so important to remember that this is a season and honestly, this could be part of the current season that you are in. There isn't anything wrong with it and if anything it will allow you to look and live your days in a more thankful way.

Believe it or not, our times of struggle, uncertainty, and disbelief are the times that shape us into who we are supposed to be and teach us the lessons that you cannot be taught in school or in a "perfect world." Which you might ask yourself, how in the world would this shape me? Well, I encourage you to look back on a month ago, a year ago or even five years ago and you will immediately see that you have been shaped, brought up and built even in the smallest of areas just by the times of struggles or unknown of what the days ahead would have brought. Looking back at your areas of growth and development can not only make you more apparent of how much we grow, but how far you might have come. So even in the times where you feel in a rut, just by you continuously living each day and pushing through is breakthrough to a comeback that might or might not be seen or known of.


So I encourage you... Trust in the unknown, find the positivity in the little things, fight the fear and trade it for freedom in the path that is waiting ahead of you.

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.
