Dear Laurel,
You are loved. Even when you don’t see it, even if you don’t hear it, please look within yourself to feel it, because I promise you, love surrounds your entire being. You have worked so hard through so many difficult things and still somehow along the way you have surrounded yourself with genuine people who truly care for you. You did that. You dive in head first to every relationship 150% without fail, and I love you for that. You are honest, intense, funny, strong, empathetic, true, and passionate.
You are loved.
The dream of the person you will become someday inches closer with every passing moment and I see the look in your eyes with pure excitement of the unknown to come. You have pushed yourself harder in the past eight months than you have ever been pushed before and you did that, no one else. You have kept yourself accountable and look what you have done. You have transformed yourself inside and out and you continue to make great strides in your personal growth every single day.
You amaze me.
Your courage to continue on with the intensity in which you live life is a wonder in itself and you give me hope. I am going to say that one more time to make sure you heard me.
You give me hope.
You give me hope in what people are capable of in their darkest hour. You give me hope in what mankind can achieve. You give me hope in the idea that things will get better. You give me hope for love, hope for life, hope for yesterday, hope for today, and hope for tomorrow.
What I want you to remember, what I need for you to remember, is what I have written to you today, because it is all so easy to forget when trouble rears its ugly head. You are so much more than you give yourself credit for and it’s about time you start. You are going to change lives for the better. You are going to help people. You are going to take this world on by storm. I love you more than you will ever know. You are my strength, my light, my soul, and my eternity. You are me, and for that I love you even more.
Always,
Laurel

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 592 Newer› Newest»YES, this gives me hope, too. Thank you for sharing this. You wrote this for yourself, but its reach is much farther than you will know.
Great job! Keep it up. You are going to do great things in life and you deserve to know that you are loved.
You are so strong and can overcome everything that is thrown at you. With a little patience, time, and love you will forever let your light shine!
Laurel, I loved your letter and I truly believe every word of it that you said. I'm glad that you are turning over a new chapter in your life and starting it with such power and strength. Here's to a new you! Cheers!
I love you and you are the best big sister ever. And you are VERY brave. Wonderful letter!Very impressive :)
Laurel,
I feel like your letter could be sent to so many women out there with so many different stories, thank you for being honest and hopeful.
Wow Laurel. This is an incredible letter. Not only is it creative and extremely well-written, but the words are important. It must have been rewarding to write this letter to yourself. I hope that you know and believe that it's 100% true becuse it is. Thanks for the inspiring words on a day that's been emotional and difficult.
Great letter, Laurel! And the best part is, every word of it is true! You are such an amazing person, I wish you all the best in your new chapter :)

very inspiring, and heartfelt. i am a little teary.
Thank ya'll so much for saying all of these wonderful things. I didn't realize until I was done writing the letter how important it is to actually tell myself what i think. And it makes me think that if more women wrote themselves love letters then some of them would still be here with us. Thank you Iman for starting this, I really think it could save lives.
Laurel
Laurel, you are a beautiful talented soul. It was a joy to get to work with you a few summers ago and I hope to get the pleasure again. Keep shining!
So absolutely true my dear. You are so strong and beautiful and definitely one of the most amazing women I know!!!

You HAVE changed my life for the better. What a great project. Thank you SO SO much for sharing such an intimate part of you. That was a courageous thing for you to have done. I love this project and I hope you win Laurel. You deserve it! :) -me
I feel like certain passages in your letter were written specifically for me, and things I am currently dealing with. Inspiring.

AND... another of your talents is writing! What a great way to say those things to yourself, and to all of us. The world is better with you in it... writing, and inspiring us to be like you.
congratulations on being so strong, beautiful, wonderful, and giving. you are one in a million. really. i don't know anyone else quite like you. i really admire you for what you're doing with this project and your life in general. i am keeping this anonymous because i don't know you that well anymore, but i do love you and always wish you well.

-Heather
We do not get to pick the battles that we are presented in life,but what we do get to choose is how we handle it. You Laurel, have chose to handle your battles with confidence, beauty and humor, and that will you get you farther then most.
Hey! This letter is fantastic. It makes me wonder what kind of society we would have if all the women of the world wrote letters to themselves like this daily. You are making the world better, one woman at a time :)
I Cannot wait to see how your new chapter turns out, because I know that if you handle it with the bravery you have handled the last 28 years, you are going to be fantastic!
Laurel,
Its like I have always said... the most important thing you can do for yourself is to tell yourself everyday that you are incredibly good looking... and when you say it... mean it
empowering? inspiring? beautiful? speechless?
YES, to all the above. It was perfect.
thank you. i vote LAUREL!
You are so beautiful Laurel, in so many ways. This letter was inspiring to read, thanks for sharing it with the world.
You are so creative and uplifting, you could be a public speaker... getting girls and young women to understand their own value and self-worth is intrinsic and has little/nothing to do with anything else. Great letter and point of view.
I just read about the prize package and am really excited for you to win it. I think it would be a great pick me up. You deserve to win Laurel, and I hope you do.
Laurel,
Where do I begin? I have known you for a long time and have admired you for being you. You are the most sincere, honest, REAL person I know. You don't let anyone get away with being anything less either. You hold yourself and the others around you accountable for the things they say and do. I would not be who I am today without you... Thank you. I love you.
true true true. now read this to yourself and BELIEVE IT. you are everything you wrote and MORE. we all love you. look at how many people have read and loved your letter. start fresh with this attitude always, and never doubt yourself.
found this link on facebook from paul. although i just "met" you, i am very impressed with your letter. i hope you do what you said you would do in it, to look within yourself to feel all this love, even if the people in your life don't tell you so. they love you. i love you.
Great letter. You have my vote for sure.
You have a brightness about you, both in your picture and your writing. I hope this did for you what it did for me. It was beautiful to read.
Fantastic letter. I am going to write one too.
PS. I love your earrings! Too cute!!
Remember this always. I know I will. I vote Laurel P.
Amazing, as predicted. Jessie said you had this awesome letter to read. I love it. Thanks for sharing it and for being so amazing. This really is a good idea for everyone to tell themselves what they need to hear. Kudos.
Courageous, and a leader. That's what you are. More women should stand up for themselves the way you just did. Good for you.
I am only a friend from afar, but we have so much in common! It was crazy reading your letter and really internalizing so many things. You are gifted, and beautiful, and LOVED.
Laurel!!! You have this in the bag! Your letter is what every woman needs to hear. Good luck! :)
Hooray for self improvement and growth. :) Love your letter! :)

I hope that this follows with a follow up post in the future. I cant wait to see how great your next chapter is!
I remember in college when we had a conversation about what people view as beauty and how we view ourselves. I am glad to see, that not only do you still have the same view point, but it has gotten so much stronger!
I just wanted to let you know that I have written my own letter now. HEY! Guys can have letters too! Thanks for your honesty!
For someone who has struggled their whole life with self esteem issues, I hope that one day I can be as happy with myself as you are :)And I have seen the new pics! You look fantastic!
If anyone deserves to win this award for true beauty it is you!
If the all the girls of this world had a mother that had the same values as you, women would grow up to be alot healthier and more confident!Great letter!
Laurel, I hope you meant all those beautiful things you said about yourself because I certainly do.

Found out about your blog through my niece Jessie. Great letter. I wish all women were able to talk to themselves this way! Very inspiring!
Beautiful letter! Your smile and laugh brighten any room you enter and this letter encompases all that you are. You will go far in life...
Beautiful letter! I am so impressed!

I have read some of the other womens letters as well. You all inspire me.
Saw how many comments you have! Thats awesome. Just think how many people have read and not even commented as well. Your words are going to reach farther then you will ever see
You are so wonderful. And I am glad to see you have so much support from your friends, family, and even strangers!
Great blog, I hope you win the contest!
I just wanted to let you know that you have always been beautiful to me and this just enhances it!
I love how you wrote a letter about all the things you love about yourself! Us Women (not all but most) are So HARD on ourselves and for some reason we feel like we need to be perfection! We are all prefect in our own Corky way. Sometimes I think we just need to be reminded. I hope you hang this on your mirror so when you see it every morning you remember how unique and special you are!!
What a wonderful idea to write such a letter! Love it and love your letter!!!
I had a friend that did something like this everyday and it helped her change the way she felt about herself. I hope it can do the same for you.
This letter gives me such hope. I hope that I can believe in myself the way you believe in yourself.
Anyone that can write something this beautiful deserves a photo shoot showing their outer beauty as well. Good luck! I love ya!!!
I love how powerful your use of words are! How inspiring!
I only "know you" through Jessie, but you seem to be such an amazing person!
Laurel you are so strong and this is such an amazing message. Keep thinking these inspiring thoughts and you'll make it through anything.
