To My Best Friend.

Nanc, we met at OTC when I was 13 years old. Your workshop changed my life! Year after year we became closer and closer through your workshop, hanging out at camp and staying in touch throughout the year.

8 years later and you are my best friend! We are closer than ever. We know each other so well. I am so blessed to have you in my life!

We may live in different countries and we may have an age gap, but that does not stop us from being the best of friends! You are so special to me.

You've had my back since age 13 and please know that I will always have your back. We are so similar and teach each other many things about life. Your wisdom has guided me through the years and helped me grow as a person.

I am so thankful that you are in my life! Thank you for being there for me through thick and thin. When I first met you, I was attracted to your light. Your energy pulled me towards you and I knew that I needed you in my life.

Nanc, you are like family to me! I know we will always be in each other's lives. No matter how long it has been since we have seen each other or how long it is been since we have talked, we always pick up right where we left off. I know in my heart that we were meant to meet in this lifetime.

I am so thankful and grateful that our crossed paths when they did! We have seen each other through the ups and the downs and that's what has made our friendship strong because we have been there for each other through it all for the past 8 years. Your workshop bonded us and I believe that a lot of friendships/relationships grow or grow stronger because of your workshop because we understand each other better when we understand each other's challenges and we are there to support each other when breaking through our obstacles.

Your passion for what you do inspires me! You don't treat what you do as just a job, you truly love it and that is why you are so amazing at what you do and have changed so many people's lives including mine! You are an inspiration to me truly because of your passion for everything you do in your life.

This year as you know has been particularly hard for me and you have been there for me through it, thank you. I don't think I could have gotten through this year without you.

Thank you for reminding me about what it is important in life. I sometimes get stressed and put too much pressure on myself to be perfect, but you always remind me that doing what you love and being happy is what is really important.

I love you with all my heart, Nanc! You are one the kindest people I know with a big heart. You are a truly amazing soul and I am so thankful to call you my friend.

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.
