An Open Letter to My Daughter on Her Big Day

My dearest Sweets,

A little over 10 years ago, Daddy and I welcomed an amazing baby girl into our lives. The love I immediately felt for you hit me like a bullet. I was simply unprepared for the amount of insane love that I would feel for another human being.

Today, your first book is being released. Your first BOOK! How many 10-year-olds can say that? How many grown-ups can say that? The funny part about this is it’s not at all surprising to me. You set the highest expectations for yourself and you give 150% in every single thing you do. No dream or goal is unattainable in your mind. What a remarkable and talented young lady you are. You should be immensely over-the-moon proud of yourself. YOU DID IT!

You are going to be graduating 5^th grade soon and venturing off to middle school. In a few short years, you will be a teenager. I am not sure where the time went, but I know it is about to fly by even more rapidly. As you continue to grow up, remember how much you are loved. Your family loves you in an insane, deep, almost annoying, mountain-moving way. We will protect you, guide you and defend you until the end of time. You bring us all -- every single human being who is blessed to walk with you, even for a short while -- to a higher place.

Never stop singing and never stop dancing. Continue to live your life like it is a musical. Always keep a song in your heart and a swing in your steps, and if life gets a little tough don't be afraid to just let it all out. Never stop asking me to sing with you, never stop asking Daddy to dance with you. No matter how old you get, I hope that there is no one you would rather sing and dance with more than us.

Every day my heart walks around outside of my body. I miss you when you are at school, yet I delight in your independence. And when I pick you up each afternoon, the second you park that 10-year-old body in the back seat, everything in my life suddenly becomes better.

I am so proud of everything you are right now and everything I know you will be in the future. Know this: My world revolves around you. I love you. Ferociously.

You can never disappoint me. You will never disappoint me.

Forever,

Mommy

Bailey and the Bully

Hey Guys! Guess what! I wrote my first book! It's called Bailey and the Bully! Here's a little bit about it:

Eleven-year-old Bailey Baxter and her friends, Camilla and Aaliyah, are best friends who have formed the ABC Club, ABC being the first letters of their names. Bailey has always been known as the nice girl in school ... that is until she develops a crush on schoolmate Josh Leroy. While trying to impress him, she takes on undesirable behaviors that disappoint her family, and could threaten her cherished friendships. Will Bailey come to her senses before it's too late, or will the pressure of being accepted cost her all that really matters, and damage the life of a fellow classmate in the process? Find out when Bailey and the Bully is released on 12/12/12! Stay tuned ...
