Here are 11 more acts of kindness to honor the victims of the Orlando shooting.

In order to combat the hatred in the world I want to spread kindness and love. I have already completed some of the acts in both this post and last week's post, but I will not be sharing my experiences of doing the acts until after I have written the entire lists.

However, I can assure you I have been smiling at strangers, receiving surprised looks when I open the doors for older men, and happy faces when I complete the acts.

17. For Eric Ivan Ortiz-Rivera, I will make art for someone.

Eric Ivan Ortiz-Rivera, 36, was known by his family and friends as artistic.

18. For Kimberly Morris, I will send surprise cards to my grandmas.

Kimberly Morris, 37, recently moved to Orlando so she could help her grandma and mom.

19. For Eddie Jamoldroy Justice, I will surprise my mom.

Eddie Jamoldroy Justice was 30 years old when he spent his last hour alive texting his mom.

20. For Darryl Roman Burt II, I will pay the toll for the car behind me.

Darryl Roman Burt II was 29 and a financial aid officer at Keiser University. He always wanted to positively impact the lives of others.

21. For Franky Jimmy Dejesus Velazquez, I will donate cat food to my local animal shelter.

Franky Jimmy Dejesus Velazquez was 50 years old, a professional Jíbaro folk dancer, and according to Facebook loved his pet cat.

22. For Mercedez Marisol Flores, I will forgive more.

Mercedes Marisol Flores was a 26-year-old studying literature and working at Target. Her dad said, "I forgive the boy because I cannot take that hate in my life. My life is more important than hate." We should all live by this.

23. and 24. For Simon Carillo and Oscar Aracena, I will send an anonymous housewarming gift.

Oscar A. Aracena-Montero, 26, and Simon Adrian Carrillo Fernandez, 31, recently bought a home together.

25. and 26. For Jonathan Antonio Camuy Vega and Yilmary Rodriguez Solivan, I will send thinking of you cards to old friends.

Jonathan, 24, and Yilmary, 24, were good friends. Jonathan died trying to protect Yilmary.

27. For Juan Chevez-Martinez, I will tip big next time I stay at a hotel.

Juan Cheves-Martinez, 25, was a hotel manager and was remembered as kind and loving.

Until next time, keep on spreading kindness.

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.
