A message to my 20-year-old self

_This week I'm guest blogging over on Tess Hardwick's little corner of cyberspace (Inspiration For Ordinary Life). For several weeks, Tess has invited writers to answer this question: What would you say to your 20-year-old self? The series, called 20 Thursday, has included some touching and insightful posts. I hope mine lives up to that reputation. Here's the opening and a link to the rest on Tess' site. Feel free to comment here, on Tess' site or both. And thanks for reading...

_Dear Diane at 20,

As I look at your face in a faded photograph, I can see past your pretty smile for the camera and into the thoughts that fill your young and troubled mind. I’m not good enough. I’m not pretty enough. I’m not smart enough.

But you are. All of those things and more.

Tess Hardwick
Tess Hardwick: author, blogger, wife, mom and all-around awesome person.
_Because I'm busy doing freelance editing for Booktrope and working on a guest blog post for the gracious and talented Tess Hardwick, for today's Monday Minute, I'm inviting you to head over to Tess' blog, Inspiration for Ordinary Life, and peruse the installments in her guest series titled "20 Thursday."

Tess is a gifted writer and the author of Riversong. In recent weeks, she has invited a variety of writers and bloggers (myself included) to contribute their reflections on life as though advising their 20-year-old self. It's been an amazing series so far, and I think you'll find it moving and inspiring. My post will appear there later this week. Please visit ... and have a wonderful week.
