To My Momma, Every Day Of The Year

My mother never gave me any idea that I couldn't do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. I don't know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her.

To My Momma, Every Day Of The Year
Hunter McWilliams

"My mother never gave me any idea that I couldn't do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. She filled our house with love and fun and books and music, unflagging in her efforts to give me role models from Jane Austen to Eudora Welty to Patti Smith. As she guided me through these incredible eighteen years, I don't know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her."

No gift could ever show you how much you truly mean to me, so I am giving you my words instead.. Happy Mothers Day Momma

You deserve the world and more everyday of the year not just this one in particular. You are the greatest woman this earth and I will ever know. (I may be a bit biased but I just can't help it.) You are so extraordinary and so loved, especially by me.
I have saw the world try to get you down so many times but you never let it, you turn your music up and dance away the negativity. You have carried the weight of the world on your shoulders and still yet go about your day as if you have the world in your hands. You have a way of seeing the world like no other, you find the good in everything, my optimist. You not only manage to carry your own weight but mine and my siblings as well. Every time something has brought me down, you dropped whatever you were doing and picked me up and continued to carry me until I was strong again. You are my strength, the wind beneath my wings. You taught me the important things in life and always taught me that the world owes me nothing and that I am in charge of my happiness. This lesson will change the way I live forever. You taught me how to be strong, independent, and confident yet humble. You make me feel like there is not one thing I can not do in this world as long as I work for it. I am so grateful to have a mother that is constantly boosting my confidence.

Not only are you my mother but you are my very best friend and for that I will always be so thankful. You are the Lorelai to my Rory (nothing represents us more.) I know I will never have to go through anything alone because I will always have you, my mother, my number one supporter, my best friend. I could not thank you for everything you do for me. You let me be exactly who I want to be without passing any judgment, you think I am perfect and I think the same of you. You have been my world since before I can remember and nothing will ever change that. You have taught me to never sit out but to always dance, to take all the chances I get and to make everyday an adventure. My life will always be filled with so much joy because of you. Thank you so much for all you do for me, the lessons I will carry through life, the constant love, working to give me everything I want and need, sitting by my bed for countless nights in the hospital and not leaving once, all the laughs and dance off, for making the good days great and being there to hold me through the lows. You are the most selfless person I know, you really are an angel.

I want you to know you are the best mom I could ever ask for, I would be lost without you. I love watching you dance your way through life, I am honored to be the one dancing right by your side. You are the light of my life. You are magical Momma, I love you more than you will ever know. Happy Mothers Day!

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.
