The good Lord knows I can dish it out, so I am taking my own advice this week. All the things I tell friends, and family. I'm finally gonna do myself.
Push Harder
Hold on Longer
No is not an acceptable answer
Take a Nap and a deep breath
When they say you can't do it, politely smile and nod... and then do it anyway.
Stop worrying so much about what other people think
Listen to your mother
and your father
Stop listening to everybody else
Kick the bad out
Let the good in
Pray
Laugh when it's funny
STOP fake laughing when it's not
Pray some more
Love with all you can
you do too have time for a walk, you had time for Oprah
Sing from your heart
Listen that small voice, it's there for a reason
Trust yourself.
Kiss him when you feel it...
And for heavens sake.... cut yourself some slack. These are the moments, live in them.
Love,
Your type A oldest child bossy self.

I love you, sweet girl. You have the best of your mamma and daddy plus (and this is huge in Isom's world) some extra sprinkles on top. Please continue to share. It's nice to take a moment and reflect on what's really important: digesting the day with an open heart.
I read this a week ago, and loved it! Didn't think to leave a comment, but all I can say is you are wise beyond your years.I wish I had known half of what you do at your age! I am so incredibly proud that you are my daughter!
Mama
