So many are celebrating their mother today because of Mother's Day, however, I celebrate my mother everyday. My mom has been my rock when I felt like sinking. She has been there through so many tough times in my life and has sacrificed so much. This extraordinary woman who got married at age 17 and had me at twenty-one and never complained. She was there for me when I felt like giving up. She was there for me when daddy walked out and instead of giving up,she took care of 3 bad kids on her own. Mamma had to work 2 jobs just to support us and pay the household bills. When we didn't have enough food, mamma gave us her portion and went to bed hungry. This lady worked in someone's tobacco field so we could have clothes for school. While we rocked the best, she had to wear old clothes because all o her money went on us. She was out mother and father. Even though Mother's Day was on May 8th, I celebrate my mother's everyday I am so blessed and fortunate to have her in my life. No, my mother is not perfect, but God's strength is made perfect in weakness ( 2 Corinthians 12:9 ). I love you mommy and thanks for everything.


Mother's Love

She rubbed my head when I was feeling bad

She comforted me when I was sad

She cheered me up when I was down

and when I needed her she was always around

Accepted my mistakes and punish me in love

A representation of God above

Held my hand when I was scared, letting me know that she cared

Tucked me In, gave me a kiss goodnight

Whispered softly...Lord protect her through the night

A mother's love a cure for the pain

A shelter and umbrella from the rain

I love my mother and this she knows

She carries my heart whenever she goes.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
