Letter to my Future, Older Self 

Dear Future Donna,

Whatever decade you are in, remember this:

1. Stand tall regardless of the situation… and ask for help when in need. 
2. Those who love you are there for you… you are not alone.  
3. Life is full of ups, downs, and horizontals… embrace wherever you are. 
4. Be teachable… this will keep you young.  
5. Keep being who you are… this is when you are at your best. 
6. People are not perfect… and neither are you, so don’t be surprised if they hurt you. 
7. Time is precious… regret not. 
8. Cherish the sweet moments of the past… create new memories for tomorrow. 
9. Give more than you take… as you know, by giving you will always be receiving in kind. 
10.  Teach, coach, and mentor others… these actions feed your soul. 

Remember, remember, remember from whence you came, how you grew, and what you have learned.

These will sustain you through your future years. 

Love, 

Dose
