There have been quite a few thought provoking blog
entries this week from some wonderful bloggers,
this one really hit home with me - Wendy has a blog
called Red Boots - she is a very charming young woman.
She wrote a blog entry titled dear 16 year old me - that
really struck a chord with me. Almost everything she
described was me at that age. Ever since I read
that I have been wondering what I would say to
my 16 year old self, I haven't figured it out yet
but it would definitely fill several pages.
Stop by Wendy's blog to read what she wrote and
one of her friends wrote - they are wonderful!
What would you say to your 16 year old self?
Now there's an interesting question. I wonder if I would recognise my 16 year old self if I passed her in the street and if I did, what would we talk about. Very thought provoking!
ReplyDeleteI love this....a book came out recently on this exact subject over here, letters to my 16 year old self....such an interesting idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat would I say to mine....oh, so much!
Will check out Wendy's blog.
Happy Friday Cathi :)
Thanks for the shout out Cathi!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking more and more about my letter I wrote, and I think I have a lot more to add to it every day. Maybe one day when I have children I will write them a letter for their 16th birthdays.
Have a good day!

Loving this. This was one of the neatest things I have read!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.
What a wonderful idea! My father died when I was sixteen, so I was a mess then. I would tell that girl I was to just hold on and to surround herself with people who understand; she WILL make it. You've given me a lot to think about this Friday morning, my friend!
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful weekend. xo Gigi
Mmmmm, I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteI've always said that I would never change anything that I did so, probably not a lot. You shouldn't change the mistakes that we made. They are what make us who we are and we learn so much from them. XXXX
I think I want to write a letter to 60 year old me, but I'm afraid I won't remember myself by the time I read it. LOL
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Dear 16-year-old Me: Travel more, eat more, love more, worry LESS! :-)
