Much obliged Cedric who blogs over at Notes of This Native Son for pointing me to this truly inspiring piece. I pray that you will be blessed and inspired. These words are too powerful not to be shared. Be blessed on this day!
What’s up young lady. You may not know who I am but I know who you are. You see, I see your potential, I envision you accomplishing all of your dreams and goals. Anything that you set your mind to can and will be yours if you just Believe!
Realize young lady that women have always been at the helm of everything great. James Brown said it best, “this is a man’s world but it wouldn’t be nothing without a woman or a girl”. You have so many big sisters to look up to, so many sources of inspiration that have provided the framework of the strong work ethic known as womanhood.

That is FABULOUS!!! I absolutely love it...if I had a daughter I would frame it and put it on her wall for her to see it every day!
Thanks for sharing!
Simply beautiful!
I wish that all of our brothers could see us in this light.
This really is a great letter!
@NBW - yes you are! Don't let anyone tell you differently!
