I had a very open relationship with my children and talked very frankly. Below are things I think should not go unsaid between a mother and a daughter. I covered this pretty well with mine. I hope you agree with my list!

- Your beauty inside is more important than the outside
- Never let someone else define you
- Always keep your eyes and ears open to God
- Be diligent with your goals you have set for yourself if you are truly passionate about achieving them. Worthwhile achievements seldom come easily.
- Each child you bear will not come with a cookie cutter instruction book so do not expect to ace parenting. Do the best you can do and trust your instincts. God gave them to you, not somebody else.
- Sex does not equate to love. Know the difference between a one night stand and a lover & friend that's committed for life.
- Boys can be rude but girls can be flat out mean, at any age. Know it and expect it so you aren’t caught off guard. Don’t take it to heart. Just be selective with your inner circle of friends. Less is more.
- Society will try to tell you what makes a woman. You need to decide that for yourself and not be held back by labels and everyone else’s expectations or you will always fall short or satisfy everyone but you.
- It’s okay to cry. Tears are cathartic and can be healing, at any age.
- Be forgiving of others. Grudges create hate in the heart. This will hurt you more.
- Do not fear using your voice. It was given to you for a reason.
- There is no such thing as too much education. Never stop learning new things.
- Be happy in whatever you choice to do, in your choices. Being happy and positive is healthy.
- Be self-accepting and have self-love. Without them, you can't truly reach your potential or love someone else unconditionally.
- I will always love you for you.
