After a great final day of action at the FedEx Cup Tour Championship where we saw Rory McIlory come out and play like the golfer we all know he can, we have one last thing to look forward to before heading into the the offseason. The beloved Ryder Cup. Its practically a holiday weekend for golf lovers like me and leaves me excited to see all the crazy fist pumps and 40+ foot bombs that are dropped. After captain Davis Love picked Ryan Moore, Rickie Fowler and Matt Kuchar as his captains picks, which I was very pleased with. But, would this team have enough fire power to finally beat Europe in the Ryder Cup? Heres what I think:

Dustin Johnson is playing great golf, Phil is always Phil in the Ryder Cup, and everyone else is kind of iffy. It's scary to see how this could go, but I believe that the USA will pull this off. Europe has a couple of new guys like Matt Fitzpatrick, Thomas Pieters and Danny Willett playing and I don't know how they will handle this pressure because I don't care what anyone says, the Ryder Cup is on another level compared to most PGA Tour events (not majors of course). So Ill be interested to see how those guys play with pressure mounting on their shoulders.

I believe that the points will be pretty close the first 2 days and it will once again come down to the last couple of matches on singles match play to determine the winner, which those pairings will probably be interesting to see. But, I feel like with a huge home field advantage this year and a USA team with some very talented, experienced players on their team, they certainly have the upper hand. But, once again, it all depends on the matches for the singles match play.

Overall, I think this week is going to be a very neck and neck week and entertaining for every golfer around the world. But, I want be great if the USA doesn't win this year. Just saying.

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.
