Things I want the girl to know

1. Live your life giving lots of grace

2. Dont be judgemental unless you desire to be judged yourself

3. Find a hobby early in life and enjoy it

4. Always carry a back up tampon in your purse...if you dont need it chances are someone else will

5. Dont get in cars with boys who have been drinking. For that matter, dont go into elevators with boys either.

6. Always have a cat in your house.

7. Be kind to older people. They deserve your respect. My father told me this of his older secretary one summer when I worked for him. He said, "Darling, dont ever disrespect her because of her age. She has forgotten more about this business then you could ever hope to know"

8. For Land's Sake, WEAR A SEAT BELT

9. Buy a good leather purse because it will last you forever

10. Sex isnt love and love isnt sex.

11. If something scares you embrace it, dont run from it...conquor it or else it owns you.

12. Always carrysome cash on you

13. Write letters by hand occassionally, they are precious in an age of electronics

14. Make your bed before leaving the house

15. Do it now rather than later

16. Look at someone when you speak to them and have a good solid handshake

17. Keep the gas tank filled

18. Remember where you came from

19. Be nice to everyone no matter their station in life, being kind is never the wrong choice

20. Do the next right thing.

Tip 21: NEVER under any circumstances leave the house without lipstick. If possible get it tattooed onto you lips. Hey, if its fabulous, show it off.
