Dear Caroline ,
Who would have thought that at the age of five flicking through the pages of Vogue, sketching full outfits with felt tip pen on scrap paper, whilst watching the matriarch that was your grandmother work tirelessly around a sewing machine as a local seamstress , would have such a profound influence on your life and lead you to where you are today. From that moment you knew what you wanted to do and who you wanted to be and for that I commend you.
So as I sit here today I write to tell you that I’m proud of you and for you to
Keep being the fearless, go getter; that you are
Keep your head high
Keep dreaming
Keep believing
Keep thinking outside the box and never tick the box
Keep working hard
Keep inspiring
Keep rewriting the narrative
Keep your creativity
Keep your foundation strong as you can’t build a house on sand
Keep laying foundations
Keep contributing to the world
Keep being a positive roll model to your children
Keep lifting yourself and others
Keep positive
Keep living in your now
Keep shining
Keep open
Keep strong
Keep going
Keep your faith
Keep your vision alive
Keep being you
And above all
Keep smiling
I love you.
