Take Time To Thank Your Loved Ones

The month of November is all about a cool, crisp fall time where you feel all warm and cozy inside. This may be due to your oversized sweaters you've been wearing or the fact that this is the month of giving thanks. Sometimes we forget to thank the people for the smallest things that they do for us. We neglect to show our appreciation for all that they offer. The people in our lives are there for a reason and they are special to us in many ways. It is time to give thanks to them for all that they are.

Our loved ones mean everything to us. Not to be bias here, but I have the greatest support system on Earth. My family and friends mean absolutely everything to me, and I would drop what I'm doing in a heartbeat for them. Being there for someone shows that you care. It shows that you want to engage in anything that they have to say. A simple 'I love you' message will cause a whirlwind of smiles.

Thanking your loved ones for the smallest of things can make their day, or even their week. It is the little things in life that keep us going, and we should be reiterating our thanks. A little bit of appreciation goes a long way. Thanksgiving is coming up and we are often asked what we are thankful for. This year let us not make it about material things, but let us make it about our friends and family that are always there for us. Let's give thanks to those who care, those who will be there for the long run.

Our current state in the world needs all the kindness and support it can get. A simple smile to a passerby can start a train of good, positive vibes. Being able to cause something like that is an amazing feeling and I highly recommend it.

Next time you are talking to someone that you care about, please thank them. Thank them for being the type of person that they are. Thank them for having a great smile. Thank them for being there when you need them the most. Thank them for giving you a touch on the shoulder when you are down. Thank them for the tiniest sentiment. Giving thanks is extremely important and our world needs it.

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.
