I want you to be kind. Always.

to treat others the way you want to be treated.

I want you to love the outdoors.

Love getting dirty.

Appreciate nature.

Go hiking, biking, just sit by the creek.

I want you to be adventurous. Follow your heart. Do what you love. 

Be you always and don't apologize for it.

I want you to know the meaning of hard work, but also understand the necessity and goodness of play and relaxation.

I want you to be whatever you want to be. Do whatever you want to do. And find whatever you will look for.

I want you to be curious.

Explore.

Ask questions.

Do good. Be good.

Think of others. Don't judge.

Just be kind. 

I want so many things for you, little one. 

But mostly I want you to know love, be loved, and give love.

And ask for nothing in return.
