To the Girl Who Thinks She Wants to Adopt,

Thank you.

Thank you for being selfless to want to love someone who isn’t your own flesh and blood. It takes a special person to open their heart to someone they barely know. Thank you for letting God use you in one of the most special ways possible. Whatever your reason is for adopting, it’s okay to feel the way you do. Everyone will have their own opinion, but you’re wanting to do something that shows you’re a selfless person. You’re willing to take someone in that needs you.

Adoption is such a powerful thing. It’s giving someone a chance to have a better life. You’re willing to accept a person no matter what. You’re giving someone a second chance and it’s beautiful. God will bless you.

To the Girl Who Thinks She Wants to Adopt, it’s okay to want to adopt and not have your own children. Childbirth isn’t for everyone and it’s a scary thought. I think it’s amazing to want to love someone else’s child. It’s not selfish to not want to have children especially when there are already so many children looking for love. I believe God will bless you abundantly for being willing to sacrifice yourself to care for a child. Children are the biggest blessings in life. They are so smart and our future children are what can make a difference in this world.

And for another twist on a different type of adoption:

To the Girl Who Thinks She Wants to Adopt, you might not even be thinking about adopting a child, but a fur baby. Thank you for wanting to open your home and heart to a precious fur friend. They need you. We’re coming into spring and summer and the animal population is growing. Help educate people on spaying and neutering their animals. Just this past week, I have rescued a fur baby. That was one of the reasons why I didn’t post last week. I had so much going on with trying to care for him and finding him a fur-ever home since I am unable to keep him. However, I am happy to report we have found him a home. After he heals from being neutered, he will go live with them and we will still be able to see him!

To the Girl Who Thinks She Wants to Adopt (child or fur-baby), take in those sweet babies. Give them a second chance at life. You might be the only one to make a difference.

Sincerely,

A Girl Who Thinks She Wants to Adopt (more than the fur-babies I have now).

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent 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.

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.
