My dearest peapod,
You may find it odd that I ask you this question, but how do I teach you confidence when I am not confident in my own abilities. I would hate to one day see my insecurities mirrored in the innocence of your eyes. How should I teach you if you give your very best, you must be confident in the outcome regardless if it is good or bad. I have not mastered the art of being confident. I am a self-saboteur. From what I hear, I have so much potential to be great, but I let myself get in the way of my own success because I lack the confidence to know I can be great. I do not want that for you my sweet girl. Be like your father. Take life in strides and make the very best of what you can. Try to not let others bring you down. Remember there's no one but the good Lord that you need to please. Not even your father or me can love you like the Lord can love you. Put your faith and confidence in Him that He will grant you the keys to open the necessary doors to success. Do not measure your worth by others' standards. But above all else, you must live with yourself everyday--try to love yourself.
I love you my greatest accomplishment,
Mommy
