To my darling daughter Samantha,
Let me tell you a very important secret…
the secret to your happiness…
My girl the secret is simple to know, but not always so simple to live.
The secret is — love your life! Love it fully and deeply. Dream and dream big, then go after those dreams with all your might. This is your life. It is both a privilege and a responsibility. It is yours to create. And you do this by each and every choice you make.
I did not always know this truth. You, my love, have been instrumental in this gift of knowing for me. And I hope in short time you too will discover it for yourself.
Write…design…create your own script. This sweet life is all yours. Don’t waste one moment trying to live another’s or live up to another’s. Yes your sister has created a beautiful life for herself…yes I have a lot of ideas and opinions … and so do so many others. The only one who knows your true purpose for this life…is you! You know what is best, you know what your truth is and only you know how to live this life fully.
Dive deep into your own self discovery. Figure out what you like and don’t like, want and don’t want and need and don’t need. And if or when you are not sure, then explore, discover, dive fully into uncovering all those things that make your heart sing and your eyes twinkle. Because when you find, create and design your own path, that my girl, is when life opens up to you and honours all that you are with many delights to be found and enjoyed.
My girl the secret is simple to know but not always so simple to live. But go out there and create the habits and make the choices that write the script for the beautiful life only you were meant to live. The best way for you to predict your future is for you to create it.
With love Always
your mom
