The center mandala of education is knowledge. The center mandala of knowledge is wholeness within spiritual creativity.

"The possession of spiritual serenity is the key to knowledge::

The spirit within you is laced

with colored electricity. Filled with

words just scratching

to be touched by pink light.

Gypsy elephant

come alive, dance with your

fear covered spears and fight

with your tower flowers, for inexplicable

Existence."

This is a poetic thought I recorded in my feelings journal while pondering the question of what is education to me? Education is taking all of the elements from a person’s psychic self and nurturing them in a way that will increase their spirit into an individually functioning being. Ultimately, being educated in the world’s cultural intelligence in a way that is personally interesting. Walking through the poem above, the elephant represents my spirit animal symbolizing fortune, strength and stability. The excerpt, “dance with your fear covered spears and fight with your tower flowers,” expresses the idea of using negative experiences for positive reinforcement and using the towering floral design of my cotton candy persona to ward off negative ideas. Education should be taught and participated in a way that brings forth, thus enhancing a person’s unique aura, as well as balancing one’s chakras for full electric existence. This can be done by providing tools and support for a student's specific passions and interests. When we enhance and build up our passions in a way that expresses talent we are then able to see the entire in a way much different than before. When this happens it allows us to appreciate and bask in different schooling subjects through an individually artistic outlet. This will ultimately increase educational growth because of the way the full blossoming of one’s spiritual creativity matures our knowledge. Mentioned in the poem above is the idea of the spirit being infused with neon colors and surrounded by light, this is the symbolization of one’s soul. Below is a prose titled Magenta, my aura color, describing my own creative spirit.

"My magenta fused psyche is the root of all the knowledge I obtain and how I interpret that into education. I was able to accomplish that through the way my mentors nurtured, stressed, and inspired my ego to mature in a way that could reshape the world’s reality into something different that positively affects my learning and spiritual growth.

The center mandala of education is knowledge. The center mandala of knowledge is wholeness between spiritual creativity. Education is taking each element of a person’s psychic self and nurturing them in a way that will increase their spirits into an individually functioning being. Ultimately being educated in the world’s cultural intelligence in a way that is personally interesting.

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.
