The Mountains Are Calling, Where Will You Go?
carolinacremation.com

"The mountains are calling and I must go." This quote is plastered across many a t-shirt, journal, and sticker. Step into any outdoor store and you'll find it wherever you look, but what does this really mean? The mountains are calling, and I must go? I think it might mean that Muir, the author, was calling us to step out from our computer screens, to put down our phones, to quit looking at pictures on a screen and instead go out and see them for ourselves. In order to help do so, I have compiled a list of outdoor actives, ranging in difficulty to inspire you to turn off the TV, close the computer, and turn off your phone, and instead step outside.


1. Hiking

2. Backpacking

3. Mountain Biking

4. Bonfire

5. Cave Spelunking

6. Kayaking

7. White Water Rafting

8. Zip-lining

9. Mountain Climbing

10. Bouldering

11. Paddle-boarding

12. Skiing

13. Snowboarding


Hopefully, these pictures and ideas have shown you that their is a multitude of things to do outdoors, ranging from simply taking a walk through your local park to an overnight backpacking or a kayaking trip down the river. You don't have to do anything big, you just have to do something. That mountains are calling you, where will you go?

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.
