To My Mother, Thank You
Gabrielle Lamberti

Dear Mom,

There are not enough words that can even describe how I feel about you.

I thank God every day for blessing me with you. I could not have asked for a better mother, friend and person in my life, and some days I even question how I got so lucky to have you. You continuously amaze me in all that you do and I truly admire your love, faith and dedication. The boys and I are honored to have you as our mother and we cannot stress our appreciation enough.

I can only hope that someday I can be half the woman you are and be that perfect mother to my children, the same way you are to me. You have taught me so much about life and how to get through it; about love and how to forgive. You even taught me how to dress like an actual girl when all I used to were sweatpants and baggy t-shirts, thanks to the big brothers. But most importantly, you taught me what it is like to love myself and to love God and for that, I will forever be grateful.

You inspire me every day to be a better woman and you continuously teach me how to better myself. You are so supportive in all that I do and I am so thankful for the times where you still have supported me despite whether you agree with my decisions or not. Each day that passes you inspire me and remind me of the kind of person I want to be. Your friendship, wisdom and love make such a difference in my life and I can only hope that my children will look at me the same way that I still look at you. Mom, you are my rock and you are the most beautiful person, both inside and out. I cannot stress enough how blessed I am to be your daughter and your friend.

This is my thank you to you; for all the things you've done, you do, and you will continue to do for me. Thank you. I would be nothing if it wasn't for you. Just know that everything I do is for you and I can only hope that I make you proud, considering how proud I am of you. You amaze me every day and I can't ever imagine a life without you here. You truly are the strongest woman I know. You've encountered some of the toughest hardships and never once let them define you. If anything, you came out to be a stronger person and I commend you for that. Despite our fights, never forget that I love you, Mom.

Here's to many more laughs and smiles and taking down dad and the boys by showing them who's boss!

I love you today, every day, and always.

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.
