For the past 18 years of my life I have surely learned a lot. However, I did not learn it all on my own. I have been blessed with a mom who has such a huge place in my heart. Because of her, I am who I am today. Even though I went away for school we are closer than ever and I pray she knows I will always find a way to come back home to her. Here are a few of the things my mama taught me:
1. Always be honest and open.
2. Believe in yourself.
3. If you want something, work for it, not stopping till you get it.
4. Never forget about your childhood. That love you had for Santa Clause can still exist today.
5. Life is full of life lessons so go ahead and write them down in a book.
6. You are strong. People will only bring you down because you allow them too.
7. Be proud of who you have become, but do not be prideful when it comes to your actions.
8. Having a bad day? Grab some Mod Podge, glitter, paper, ribbon and anything else you can imagine and create till you are happy.
9. You deserve a man who makes you his priority. No games, no rollercoasters, just love that is real and true.
10. It’s okay to cry.
11. Forgiving and forgetting are too different things.
12. Inappropriate language is not becoming of you as a lady.
13. You are capable of getting through anything because God put certain people in your life for a reason.
14. Toms are the best traveling shoe.
15. You are loved because of who you are.

ReplyDeleteThanks for your thoughtful and CUTE note! I was going to text you and then realized your cell # was not saved in my phone....so I didn't get to thank you in a very timely manner.
Hope you are doing well and survived all the snow I heard about in your area.
