Recently on Facebook a dear friend posted this:

"If you could write a note from your adult self- to yourself as a child, what would it say?"

That phrase alone put a deep thought in my head. What would I write to myself? I am writing a memoir now titled "My Kinfolks Shoes." This story embodies my life but if I had to shorten the length of it, it would be scaled down to a Cambridge notepad and read a little something like this:


Dear Mousey,

How bright and beautiful you are. I am writing to tell you that the Lord is putting you in places for His will since your life is not your own. I assure you there is no cause for worry or concern for the things you think you may lack because He has you covered. Although you may face opposition and witness the frailties of those around you, Just know He has already delivered you and will not put more on you than you can bare.
This letter is for you to keep with you over the years so that you can reflect and See the things unseen.
You will blossom into everything "They" say you will not; a wonderful mother, a compassionate human being with talent and creativity. Remember to forgive yourself and say kind things to you, especially when no one else will.
Embrace what you have and know that it is a gift and please share it with others.

Letters to self are often considered methods of therapy to healing our troubled past. It is the method of realizing what you want best for yourself or in other words a form of nurturing.
