An Open Letter To My Nanny Kids
Carly Bandy

To my wonderful kids that I nanny,

Who knew that when I took this job that you all would end up making such an impact on my life? Seriously though, I didn't even think about all the good that could come from spending the majority of my time with you guys. I don't tell you guys enough how much I love y'all and how much y'all actually mean to me so I figured it was about time.

Every single day you guys get in the car with a smile on your face and a story to tell. You confide in me, ask me for advice and tell me all the gossip of your grade. I never thought that I would enjoy hearing so much about elementary, middle and high school, until now. I look forward to the moments that we spend together in the car talking about boys, the drama and everything else going on in your lives. Not only does it give me a good laugh but an opportunity to share insight and wisdom.

Who knew that this job wouldn't actually feel like work because I would end up loving y'all so much? You three are like younger siblings to me and I love you all so dearly. You have taught me so much about life and what it means to be a positive role model.

I spend the majority of my days with y'all and it don't mind it at all. You've become some of my best friends. I tell y'all just about everything and you're mature enough to understand. You have my back when boys are dumb and always find a way to make me feel like a million bucks. Who would have thought that my nanny kids would be able to do that for me? Y'all love me unconditionally and accept me for my goofy self.

Long story short -- I love y'all more than y'all will ever know. You mean so much to me and I have so much fun when we spend time together! I'm thankful our paths crossed and I get to watch you guys grow up. From the non stop jokes, dance parties in the car to the serious life talks -- I wouldn't trade it for anything. And don't worry, you guys will all have a part in my wedding one day, like you have made me promise.

Here's to many more carpools, drop offs at practices, mall trips, lunches and our heart-to-heart talks. And always remember, even when I have to grow up and be a real adult who has a full time job, I'm just a phone call away and a short drive from coming to your rescue!

Love,

'Your driver'

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
