I’ve always admired writers, artists and musicians.

I’ll tell my daughter or son your mommy is a wordsmith. I want you to write in your journal once you turn eight or nine. I want you to go to a good public school not a private school that costs a fortune or a religious school. Make good grades and I’ll be proud of you. You can always trust me and count on me to support you, prepare meals, be your friend and mommy.

People should enjoy their lives and celebrate their successes.

You can moan and complain when change occurs or you can welcome change. I say I’m thankful I have a good life. I want to enjoy my life. I’m only going to get my one life. People should celebrate when they have a success. Accept when you mess up. We all know that stuff happens but don’t mess up again. I made good choices in my life but when I think about times I failed I know sometimes you can mess up your life. Don’t beat yourself up.
