Everything I am, You helped me to be.

To My Mom, This Mother's Day

Mom,

I want to start off by saying that this day is all about you. It is a day to celebrate you and all that you have done for this family. All that you have done for me. I'm sitting here trying to find the words to describe you, but its nearly impossible because a million things come to my mind. You taught me so much of everything I know. You showed me the way and lead me on the path to becoming the person I am today. You taught me to always stay humble and kind. You taught me that it's okay to be sensitive, but also to not worry so much about what others think of me. You showed me how to be a good person, because after all, you are the greatest person there is. Everyone who knows you is touched by your friendliness and incredible heart. I grew up wanting to be you and hoping that one day I would be become half the woman you are. I saw from an early age that your beauty was not only external, but internal as well. You've always been able to call me out when I needed it in order to become a better and stronger person. You know what I need before I even do. I know that no matter what time of the day it is, that you are only one call away. Within you, Mom, I have found not only a Mom but a friend, and a role model. You got me through the hard times, you supported me in the good times, and you never failed to assure me that I can do anything I put my mind to. I'd like to think God made me your daughter for a reason, because he knew you were exactly what I needed. You raised me and my siblings in the best way possible, with love. Mom, you guided me to my faith showing me that above all, God has a plan. I could not imagine a life where I wouldn't have you next to me every step of the way. In a world, where not everyone is lucky enough to be blessed with a Mother, I thank my lucky stars everyday that you are the woman who raised me. I am sorry if there has ever been a moment where you've thought you haven't done your job. Every good quality I possess, I've gained through your wisdom and by walking your footsteps. There is a quote I found online that I believe describes us perfectly, "Always together, Never apart, Maybe in distance, But never at heart." Even though I am not living right down the hall from you anymore, you're always with me. Every pivotal moment of my life, whether you are there physically or not, you are there with me. No matter how far apart we will be, I know you are always there to hold my hand and touch my heart. Mom, I am nothing without you, you are my whole world. Thank you for teaching me how to live a life through Christ and a life full of love and strength. I love you, Happy Mother's Day.

With Love,

Your daughter

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.
