To My New Step Mom
Skye Kennice Jenkins

Dear new step-mom,

First of all, welcome to the family! You now have three daughters, two son-in-laws, four grandchildren, two more dogs, and a grand-dog. Welcome to this crazy world we call family!

Second, I would like to throw out the term "step-mom" right now because we all know that term does not fit you. You are not some crazy lady like in Cinderella or any of the other movies we have discussed. So welcome to the family, Steph.

I would like to say thank you for accepting me as your own child. It has really been a blessing having you come into my life as my motherly figure. We all know that you will not be a replacement because let's be honest, no one can replace June Cleaver. But it has been nice knowing that I will always have a positive woman role-model to look up to and aspire to be like one day.

Thank you for making my dad so happy. Ever since he told me about your relationship he has been so giddy and full of joy. Some people may see it as a negative thing or too soon but as a family, we have accepted it and, most importantly, accepted you.

You have already had such a positive impact on my life because you just get me. Whenever I am home you know exactly when I am feeling down or when I just need some sweet tea. And when I am not there, your daily texts never fail to disappoint and your updates on what is going on at my house are greatly appreciated. I can't wait for this to continue because I don't know where I would be without it and without you.

I know it won't be easy, coming into this family, but I am so glad it's you. I couldn't imagine anyone else filling the role that you have taken on. To me, you have always been "Momma Steph" and you have been around our family forever. Between Panera on Tuesdays, the countless pedicures and the trips to the other coast, I knew you very well and you were already my second mom. I could not imagine anyone else filling this spot.

It won't be easy, by any means. We will have our ups and downs, of course. But one thing I know for sure is that I love you and I can't wait to see where this journey as a family takes us!

Love,

Your (favorite youngest) Daughter

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
