To The All-American Girl

You are not indecisive.

To The All-American Girl
Reader's Digest

You know exactly who you are. You are the girl whose friends remind you daily that you can't make up your mind, that you're indecisive and can't be taken seriously, in a joking way of course. They do not mean anything negative, but they do not understand you.

I am here to tell you, they are wrong. You are not full of nonsense. You are not indecisive. Between goals, talents, careers, taste in boys, fashion, friends, and everyday life...you are the girl full of dreams. You want to do or try to do everything. You look at the glass half full and chase after anything.

You're an All-American Girl.... And a good one at that.

The All-American Girl does it all -- she has no boundaries. She has no need for the same routine every day. She loves everyone with her whole heart, she tries her best at everything she does, and she is fearless. She is not afraid of failure and most certainly is not afraid to be herself. She creates her own destiny. She wants to dye her hair blonde one minute and black the next, be an astronaut, a scuba-diver, a helpless romantic, a free-bird, somewhere in the hall of fame, and maybe even write a novel one day.

She wants to do it all. And although that may seem impossible, it sounds like fun to her. She goes wherever the wind takes her. The wind is not a light breeze, but comes full force. She doesn't hesitate to dare to move, but many people misunderstand her for that.

They think that she is showing off or can't decide what she wants to do in life. The truth is, she does what makes her happy in the moment. She does what makes her a better person or teaches her important life lessons that many people will never learn. Because she follows her heart, she finds herself in the midst of everything.

So credit to ya, All-American Girl. The world would be a boring place without you. We all need you in our life. We need your confidence to take chances. We need your intuition to follow your gut. We need your open-minded personality. People are so scared to try everything. It's like when you have fifteen tables set up in your favorite grocery store full of samples of food, but you only keep going to the same table.

Don't settle. Explore instead. Be your own version of an all-american girl. Try everything! The all-american girl has realized that some things won't work out for her, she may not like her choices, and she may decide to turn back for something else, but she doesn't go down without a fight. She gives everything a chance because the world is big and full of opportunity and so many adventures are waiting.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
