For my 'something' this week, I have decided to share a letter written by one of my favorite authors, Caitlin Moran. The letter is a letter of advice for Moran's daughter, who has just turned 13. I share this for a few reasons:
1) The format of the letter here is extremely powerful because Moran is able to reflect on many components of life in the form of advice-giving; thus, she turns her inner thoughts and wisdom into an outward reflection that has the potential to guide and aide her daughter. The format of the letter converges wit and compassion into something truly uplifting.
2) In addition, all of the advice Moran gives in the letter- advice ranging from niceness to love to body image- could be transformed into special mantras.. From her paragraph on love, I have made the mantra: "I am so much more than a mender."
3) It is now hanging on my fridge, and I love it.
