For My Girls...

1. Doubt means don’t. Trust your instincts.

2. Measure every man to your daddy.

3. There is nothing you can do to make me stop loving you.

4. Travel, travel, travel. I will be terrified every second you’re away, but you’ll learn more about yourself and the world around you than you ever could imagine.

5. Get your education. There’s nothing more empowering than knowledge.

6. Live by your means.

7. Give thanks every day to God. Don’t forget the little blessings too, like a warm bed to sleep in and a full belly. They are more than many people have.

8. Find beauty in God’s creations…the flowers, the animals, the little creepy crawly things. Except cockroaches. They’re disgusting!

9. Plant a garden.

10. There’s nothing like live music to make your soul happy.

11. Learn a second language.

12. Never underestimate the grace of God.

13. The two most important gifts that Daddy and I gave you are roots and wings.

14. Eat well.

15. You don’t have to like everyone, but you do have to respect them.

16. Dream big. You will stumble or fail along the way. Get back up and keep going.

17. When something doesn’t work the way you want it to, try something different.

18. Take care of your body.

19. Marry a man that values the same things as you.

20. There is nothing you can do to make me stop loving you. I know this is a repeat. It’s worth saying twice. Never ever forget it.
