Hi Life, I’d like to write you a letter after being around a while!

Dear Life and Anyone Reading,

This is my point of view after many experiences. I hope my daughter gets to read It, she is foremost in my mind as I write.

Here is my list….

  • Always be kind
  • Say Thank you, in fact write a hand written note and say “Thank you”.  Making the effort it really does mean you are full of thanks!
  • Aim to turn left on a plane but don’t give your heart away to do it!
  • Always tip a cab driver
  • Never queue for food but always give back to others who have too
  • Always Listen
  • Learn from others who’ve been before you
  • Your heart will be broken, probably a few times, it is shit but honestly everyone in your life will have the same experience at some point.
  • Trust your heart, your head can and will be a little biased sometimes.  Your gut feeling will tell you! Follow that feeling.
  • Dreams do come true, just believe in them and never ever stop striving for them!
  • Anything is possible.
  • Loading a dishwasher is a work of art! Good luck!
  • It’s ok to cry, it really is.
  • Be honest, with others but firstly and most importantly with yourself, you’ll then find the answers!
  • Don’t take any s**t nor bullying, just smile and walk away, you are better, it’s their stuff not yours!
  • Santa is real.
  • Break the rules!
  • Skip!
  • Cheat at monopoly, then admit it!
  • Learn to trust.
  • Be trustworthy.
  • Actions speak louder than any words! In a world of Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat and the rest, it’s easy to write words, be the change – Do something but do it selflessly without any return. That’s the gift.
  • You are going to get fired one day – That’s ok, learn, grow and know it’s ok.
  • Laugh, a lot.
  • Running is bloody hard work!
  • Never walk past a homeless person without giving a moment of your time to have a conversation, sometimes that’s enough.

  • Always have flowers in your home.
  • Eat the cake!
  • If yu are in trouble , it’s ok, be honest, reach out and asking for help is just fine.
  • Be proud of YOU!

  • You’ll always regret the kebab!
  • Have no fear, on the other side of it is a freedom you’ll not believe! You got this!
  • If You book a holiday with wooden sunbeds you are winning !
  • Stretch your arm out, touch the wall with the tip of your fingers, take it back, rub your elbow for 2 minutes, try and touch the wall again and it won’t reach the wall! You’ll do this and you can thank me later!
