Why We Should Move On
https://doodlebugsandrosebudsquilts.blogspot.com/2016/05/memorial-day.html

Alrighty folks, it has been about a week or so since the election and we all know how everybody is reacting. I am not one to state my political decision on social media, but the day after the election I did. I can agree with a lot of people and I am not exactly pleased with the results. And that is the only thing I will be saying about my feelings. However, that is not the point of this article. The point of this article is what exactly happened and what is happening as a result of it.

We all know that we are the only country that works off an electoral college (thank you founding fathers). Every other country works off of the popular vote. The electoral college is under attack and now people are signing a petition to do away with it. Not only that, but people have taken to the streets to voice their opinion. We all know who voted for who, but we also know who didn't vote for who. This election year was extremely tricky due to the way everything played out. Between the slander and name calling. We the people had the choice and I know a lot of you are not happy.

However, the protesting can go one of to ways. We could have a peaceful protest or people could be rioting and burning our flag. Well, what I hoped for isn't happening. THe protests on the streets and the protests on social media have gotten out of hand. There is no need to burn our nation's flag or bully each other. There is too much hate happening in our country. While we may or may not be happy, there is nothing that could be done.

I am going to be the one to say that we need to give this man a chance. I understand that he said anything to win the election, however, he should be given a chance. As a woman, I can understand why we should fear him and his vice president. But who knows, they might shock us....Hopefully.

Just stop the protests and move on.

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.
