Blank Book Project (Day 12)

Imagine yourself writing three important advices to the woman that you once were based on the experience accumulated over the years. I asked my Mom to do that; I asked her to think about the three most important things that she would like to tell to the young woman that she used to be many years ago. These advices are now special treasures from my Mom to Natalie and they have been included in our little book.

This is the translation of the three advices:
1. Try to be independent in every aspect of your life.
2. Make decisions based on your own resolutions and not based on pleasing other people.
3. Do not set limits for yourself, believe it or not you can always do more than you imagine.

And I created this little drawing inspired by the idea of Natalie, my Mom and I looking at the past and learning from it.

Have a wonderful day!
And see you tomorrow!
Elsita, Margot and Natalie :) :) :)

Your mum is a very wise woman. I am trying to form my life after exactly those "rules". It has taken me a long time to figure put them myself. I wish someone had given me that advice when I was a teenage girl. or might I have been too young to listen?

I love your mom elsita. I especially love the third piece of advice because I really hear all the time "I can't" . I am not talking about my own family because they have really learned to take risks but from many people I interact with. If one thinks "I can" and pushes the boundaries and limits convention has set for them they will accomplish great things . Remember if the sky is the limit there really is no limit . Only our negativity sets limits on our lives.

Elsita, your Mom passes on very good advice. I have enjoyed her so much !
I just realized how much your avatar lady looks like your Mom. I remember when you introduced her as your assistant , the person who was going to help you with all you needed to do.
I am so happy for you & your daughter that you have had this lovely time together. amy
