Moms Need More Than Just One Day

Moms should have it all, not just one day of celebrating all that they are.

Moms - the hardest working individuals out there.

Not to dim the light that dads give off but come on! Moms are what makes the world go round. I know I know that there are a few "not so great mothers" out there in the world and if you are reading this and you are one or have had one I am sorry you won't be able to relate. Most people will though, and this is for them; the great moms out there. This is for the women who carried their babies in their wombs, for the women who adopted, for the women who became a stepmother, for the women who is a mother to someone who is not of their blood, for the women who became a mother figure, heck this is even for the individual who may or may not identify as a woman but as a mother nonetheless. This is for you.

For my mom, who deserves more than one day to celebrate her and all that she is. You carried me and you keep on carrying me. You gave me life and you keep on giving me life. You taught me how to stand up when I fell down after my first steps and you keep on showing me how to stand tall after I fall every now and then. You are the reason why the world keeps on turning, and if that is too much then please know that you are why MY world keeps on turning. You are everything I want to be and more, sure we have our differences but you give the perfect example of what it is to be a mother. A strong, moving, dedicated, and all around perfect with all your small imperfections human being.

Moms. They deserve more than a card, some flowers, and a gift or two one day a year. This is not an article to rant about hallmark holidays or anything like that, I won't go into detail about why I don't like the fact that there is just one specific day to celebrate someone. They deserve more than one day to celebrate and give thanks to for all that they have done, all that they continue to do, and all that they will do. They deserve more. Even if they don't want it, they deserve it. Even if they don't believe that they are all of this and more, they deserve it. If you are reading this, and have an individual in your life that you call or can call a mother, mom, mumma, momma, mum, mami, mamita, madre, mama and have any way of communicating with her do it. Do it now! It doesn't have to be Mothers Day for you to want to call her, tell her you love her and appreciate her. Tell her and spread the love that she gave you. Tell her and show her what she has shown and given to you all of your life.

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.
