Relationships

It’s important in our lives to do as many kind things as possible. Some people don’t believe this, but I think the reason for our existence is to help one another. It doesn’t have to be big acts of heroism. It’s the little things that matter. You’d be amazed at how a simple act of kindness can change a person’s day or even change their life. It’s something that we, as individuals, should be practicing and something that we should be teaching the new generations. This is my 50 acts of kindness bucket list. You can even get this free bucket list checklist printable to check off all of the 50 acts of kindness! It’s something fun to do as a family, individually, or with friends.

I can’t be the only one dying for a list of new breakup songs. I’ve searched my iTunes for my most-played breakup songs to make this list for all of you. I filtered out the popular songs, such as Sam Smith’s Stay with Me and Adele’s Someone Like You. Maybe you’ve heard a couple of these sounds before, but I bet you haven’t heard them all. Listen to them. Cry. Buy them on Amazon. Listen to them 10 times back to back. Cry some more. Thank me in the comments below.

You never know how you can change someone’s life just by giving a helping hand, complimenting them, smiling at them, sparing some cash, or standing up for them. We are humans. It’s our job! We should always have each other’s backs. Sometimes it’s important to not mind your own business. Sometimes a simple act of kindness isn’t so simple gives more than a simple feeling. We’re all in this together, after all.

Are you wondering if your guy is really a keeper? Take a look at these 9 signs that he’s a keeper – make a checklist. Be honest with yourself. If he isn’t giving you what you want then it’s time for you to move on and find what you REALLY want, need, and deserve!

This is going to be a very emotional post. This is a post in a writing prompt blog hop called, Behind The Blogger. This week’s prompt is “Dear Childhood Me”. We are to interpret every prompt in our own way, as long as we use the words in the prompt. This is going to be a letter to my childhood self. I didn’t have a very good childhood. I’ve opened up about my childhood a few times on my blog, but never have I given you a peek into how I view my “childhood self”.

You make me smile when you look at me that way. It stops me in my tracks, losing the words I was about to say. You make me smile with those big beautiful eyes. They are more mesmerizing than a deserted, country, midnight sky. You make me smile when you tell me you love me out of the blue. It feels like there’s nobody left in the world, but me and you.

Let me set the scene. It’s date night. Every week or month you have a specific night dedicated to keeping the romance alive with your partner/spouse. Most of you would look at me funny if I said that you should go on a weekly date with your significant other. You would say that you can’t afford it. You would say that you don’t have time. You have to pay for dinner and the activity. You have to pay for gas and a babysitter. That’s if you can find one. The expenses rack up and sometimes, while important, the idea of a date night just seems out farfetched. There are ways to have cute lazy dates in your home without spending a ton of money. Now does that sound like something that’s within your reach?

I’ve never considered myself a feminist. I believe in fair, respectable, and equal rights for everyone – men and women of every race and religion. As much as I hate to believe it, women are objectified every single day. I’ve been there before. I deal with it on a regular basis. Let’s discuss women objectification.
