When the world paused.

On March 13th, 2020,


We all begin to become aware of the changes that would happen for all of us. Many of those changes had to do with school, work, our daily life activity. It was scarce, for a lot of us.



I can remember being inside of Wellington Elementary for the last time, pondering what’s happening, the questions roamed through of my head, that of, “How long will we be out”, “What’s gonna happen to these kids, as school shuts down for a while” and so many more.




Now I look back at that day, I think maybe it all has happened for a reason. Maybe It was to teach us to take a pause, enjoy life, for the moment, create new opportunities, with what we have.





For many of us, this has been hard, it will. I have struggled myself with a lot of things, questions, but I have also tried to enjoy the moments during this. As a strong person in faith, I believe in the whole “Faith Over Fear”, I know a lot of us don’t believe in things like this, but as a time such as this, we need to focus on what’s to come, instead of fearing.



Our world is going to change, due to this pandemic, but something good will come out of this, for all of us. We may have been on pause, but we are gearing up to see lives changed, family reunions unlike any other.



Have faith, we are in this together!

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.
