It's official, people. Tomorrow's match kicks off the 2018 NWSL season. I would've loved to have seen the Utah Royals FC Inaugural match played at home, but I won't complain, especially since their first home game is less than a month away. "This is what we’ve all been waiting for. The players are ready and feeling confident, and the supporters are eager to see what this new team can accomplish. Make way for the Royals!" - SB Nation - Match details When: Saturday, March 24, 5:30PM MT Where: Orlando City Stadium — Orlando, FL Broadcast: KMYU, KSLTV, 100.7 FM, go90

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." - Anatole France * I didn't understand unconditional love until I was in charge of caring for another soul. If I was married and/or had children of my own, it may not have felt so significant- but in bringing Mia home I also brought home a feeling that was new to me. I didn't want to fail her and I wanted to make sure she knew she was loved. She became my world. I adore my niece and nephews, but know they are not my full responsibility. They have amazing parents and, to be honest, my job as their aunt is easy. I love and spoil them and then give them back. I've been blessed to watch them grow and am delighted by every soccer goal, LAX goal, Eagle Scout project, creative stories written in fun notebooks, rollercoaster rides, pictures of a beautifully dressed young woman and her dance dates, Ronald McDonald races for Gavin, piano recitals, hip hop dance recitals, and carefully crafted potions made by the mischievous caboose of my lucky 7. I'm a lucky lady. I guess it all comes down to family. I consider Mia and Beckerman family. Some of my closest friends fit the mold. All I know is my soul felt important when Mia became family and the feeling came back when we brought Beckerman home. To be surrounded by family, both human and furry, awakens my soul and makes my heart smile.

I'm not sure we need a day set aside to celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women. Nonetheless, I'll jump on the bandwagon and give a shout out to the women who have shaped my world. They may not be famous but they were part of the village that raised me. My mom, grandmothers, aunts, cousins, teachers, church leaders as well as those who have stood beside me as a missionary, educator and friend have achieved a greatness of their own. Their love, loyalty and compassion makes them rock stars, the greatest one being the woman who raised me. I love you mom. Thank you for teaching me about compassion, equality, love and humility. You'll always be my hero. #internationalwomensday

When your best friend calls to wish you Happy Birthday and listens to you talk her ear off for over 2 1/2 hours, you have a big smile on your face when you hang up because you know you are loved. Thank you B for always being there for me. I'm eternally grateful for your friendship and will always treasure the memories we have made. #bbop #SUU

I find the greatest of joys in my family and have significant gratitude for all of them. When it comes to my niece and nephews, I'm butter. My heart has a special place for each one of them, so when this cutie pie entered the world 4 years ago, this aunt received the best birthday gift of all time. I love you Graham. Happy Birthday! #mwbgjog

I miss teaching. I LOVED my time at CHHS and will always be grateful to the students I taught and the memories I made. I know that grammar and literature may not seem like life changing materials, but if the students I taught can have the courage of Atticus Finch, the resiliency of Viktor Frankl, the determination of Hester Prynn, and can view Jim, a runaway slave, as his equal just like Huckleberry Finn did after their journey down the river, then I think it's safe to say that our future lies in good hands. Happy Birthday, W.E.B. Du Bois, who was born on this day in 1868. #quoteoftheday #webdubois #education #Repost @outofprint with @insta.save.repost • • •

A child's greatest teacher is a parent. Teachers help students with important and essential tools to help them navigate the world. Start educating your kiddos at home and I promise it will make a world 🌎 of difference! Happy 80th Birthday, Judy Blume! She is the author of: -Are You There God?

Dear Alexa- Thank you for making me feel totally awesome. As I was listening to Maria, Maria by Santana (with G&B) last night, the following event occurred: Me: "Alexa, add this song to the 'Old School rap' playlist." Alexa: "Maria, Maria by Carlos Santana (featuring G&B) has been added to the 'You're so old-school rap' playlist." Yes, this means Alexa thinks I'm so old-school, meaning I am so old-school, meaning I am like way cool and super awesome because I am so old school. My gente, "You're so old school" came out of her mouth (speaker), recognizing me as being legit and so old school. This is not a negative connotation. If you think it means I'm old or out of style, you need to refer to the Urban Dictionary, which is a horrible academic research source but I'm going to let it slide in celebration of this occasion. Also, if you don't believe this significantly awesome experience happened, you can ask the FBI, CIA, KGB, NSA, NATO, DOD, AARP, IRS, PTA, MLA, APA, and other acronym-esque agencies listening in to my amazing and, obviously, so old school rap skills. #suchagoodsong #stopthelooting #iamsooldschool #anditfeelsgood #wivicforthewin
