For My Mother

When I was born, I didn't know how lucky I was. I was born with a family that loved me and wanted me. But I was also born with a mother who would give everything and anything for me, and she did. It took me a long time to realize how lucky I really am because of my mother, but now that I realize it, I'm a million times more grateful. Sure, there have been times where we are at each other's throats. Regardless of the fighting, she's my mother and I'll always love her. I don't tell her enough, so I thought I would put together a list of quotes by influential people that apply to her as well. This is for my mother.

"All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." -Abraham Lincoln

"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." -Washington Irving

"I realized when you look at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know." -Mitch Albom

"Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world, a mother's love is not." -Jame Joyce

"A mother's arms are more comforting than anyone else's." -Princess Diana

"My mother is my root, my foundation. She planted the seed that I base my life on, and that is the belief that the ability to achieve starts in mind." - Michael Jordan

"She raised us with humor, and she raised us to understand that not everything is going to be great - but how to laugh through it." -Liza Minnelli

"My mother is a walking miracle." -Leonardo DiCaprio

"Acceptance, tolerance, bravery, compassion. These are the things my mother taught me." -Lady Gaga

"My mom is my hero. She inspired me to dream when I was a kid, so anytime anyone inspires you to dream, that's gotta be your hero." -Tim McGraw

"My mom is the greatest mom in the whole wide world. She's done everything for me to make my dreams come true." -Josh Hutcherson

"My mother is everything to me. She's my anchor, she's the person I go to when I need to talk to someone. She is an amazing woman." -Demi Lovato

"I always speak so highly of my mom because she's my partner in crime, and none of this would be possible without her love and support. Always have to make time for Mom." -Shemar Moore

There are so many more quotes that I saw that describe my mother and how I feel about her. My mother is the one person I know that will always love me, no matter how stubborn or irritating I am. She's is the most supportive person in my life and I am where I am today because of her love an guidance. I can only hope to be half the woman my mother is. I have so much admiration and appreciation for her. I love you, Momma.

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.
