A Mother's Love

Her every move is filled with love.

A Mother's Love
Gina Salvatore

A mother doesn’t let you know she loves you just by telling you. She shows you all her love in everything she does. There’s love when she does your day old dishes, fills your gas tank unexpectedly, and when she does your laundry from three weeks ago knowing you haven’t had the chance to do it yourself. There’s love when she helps you pack the car for your long day out, when she buys your favorite treats at the grocery store, and when she brings your backpack and books upstairs to your room for you. She lets you know that she loves you when she offers to drive somewhere so you can close your eyes and relax or run an errand for you.

Her love is never ending and even when you forget to take the garbage out, walk the dogs or clean your dishes, she will always love you.

A mother shows her love when she listens to you talk about your day instead of talking about how her day went. She shows her love when she slides her advice into a conversation when you talk about the future or relationships with others. Her love comes through with the way she softly says “Good morning” and when she stops by your room on her way to bed knowing that you will be up late finishing the work that you have to do or just to shut your light off for you as your weary eyes struggle to stay awake.

A mother's love is unwavering- it never fails. Day in and day out no matter what you do she will always be there for you. You may have gone days without saying thank you to her for picking up the slack but there she is again helping you just because she loves you.

It's the way she ignores your messy room but comes running when she sees you've got too much on your plate. It's the way she lets you make your own decisions but is always there to pick up the pieces. It's the way she cheers you on each and every day that shows you how much she loves you.

A mother's love is like no other type of love.

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.
