Dear Ellie:

Everyday Mommy thinks of something that I hope I remember to teach you when you’re old enough to understand and every week I work with young girls and I hope I can help them remember life lessons that will help them along their way. So I decided to start a blog to be used as an open letter that you can read when ever you want and can also be shared with daughters around the world. I know that sounds big but that’s my biggest hope for you. DREAM BIG MY BABY!! You can do ANYTHING! By the time you can read this I will probably have told you that 2 million times but I pray you never forget to tell yourself that because the world will constantly throw reminders at you that will suggest that you can’t do something…DON’T BELIEVE IT! I hope my voice will stay in the back of your head telling you to keep going, keep reaching, don’t give up, if you fail it will only make you better the second, third, fourth, time around! But Mommy knows that sometimes disappointment and tough times can drown out the good thoughts so you will always have these letters to get you back on track. Always remember you are my sunshine so keep shining bright!

Love You Always

Mommy

P.S. To other girls reading this the same applies to you. Every girl is special and is someone’s sunshine and if you don’t know whos sunshine you are BE YOUR OWN AND MAKE YOUR OWN LIGHT!!
