The Beatles, Led Zeppelin , Woodstock , Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Queen, Prince, Ac/Dc, Farm Aide, Lollapalooza, Pink Floyd, Sound Garden, Pearl Jam and more importantly the greatest of all time Eddie Vedder.

What do all of these things have in common besides being some of the greatest musicians of all time? They all had one person (The Same) in attendance at some concert of theirs.

Growing up, Cathie protested at her highschool for equality , and she even came in close contact with the KKK and got into a fight with them. She had been in Teen Beauty Pageants

Besides being a great fan and lover of music, Catherine Roth was someone who helped people in all walks of life. or i guess animals in all walks of life. (Dogs and Humans). She is someone who had helped kids who had cancer meet their icon , such as Chicago Bears player, Walter Peyton.


Cathie worked with an organization that that provides eyeglasses for people all over the world .

Cathie has been to the Governors Ball of Illinois when Thompson was the Governor of Illinois. She even was also a cheerleader for Peter Bensinger when he ran for sheriff of Illinois. She even the swearing in of an American President (Ronald Reagan) .

Cathie was at Disney the year it opened. She at one point was in New Orleans and she threw beads off a balcony in the French quarters.

I remember the day I met Cathie , she told me that the first concert she had ever seen was The Beatles. I became jealous of her from that moment on. I always wanted to experience Beatlemania, but sadly was born too far after both The Beatles broke up and the death of John Lennon. For me personally, my favorite beatle is Paul McCartney. I really tend to enjoy his melodic take on songs and I enjoy his solo material quite a bit. I enjoy all of the Beatles solo material.

Cathie looked beyond the music when it came to The Beatles. Cathies favorite Beatle with George Harrison. (Which by the way, the day I am writing this (February 25th 2018) would have been Georges 75th birthday.) Anyway, Cathie viewed George more as a family man than the other Beatles were.

People win big on jeopardy when they can answer something about a fact that not too many people would know, or at least not too many people would know as common knowledge. One time Cathie won a VCR just because she was able to name all of the Brady Bunch kids.

Tattoos are something that people use to express themselves in many ways. One of Cathies proudest moments in her life is being the mother to her daughter Amanda. She has a Tattoo of Tinker Bell and near that it says "Amanda." She also has the last note her mom wrote to her tattooed on her arm. One of her favorite things about herself is that she is from Chicago, and being from Chicago, she is proud to have the Chicago Flag on her always as a tattoo.

Cathie has one daughter and that daughter is everything too Cathie. Cathie finds strength in taking care of her daughter. If anything makes people stronger, it is love and support from family. Cathie Loves Amanda and Amanda Loves Cathie.

If Cathie had one thing to say to the world , it would be, "Never ever dismiss anyone or anything. You never know the impact that you can and will make in someone’s life by just being you. Don’t not believe in your instincts. You can make a smile on a persons face or a animal to feel love."

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.
