There’s a website that I love called FutureMe.org and I use it to send emails to myself in the future. I wrote this letter to my “future me” in August 2008. It arrived in my inbox today and I shook my head as I read it, realizing that I still have the same hopes that I had then and I have come a long way since last year. Whoo! This brought back chills. I’m going to write another letter today.

Dear FutureMe,
Hey girl…
Today you are living in a hotel with two other people that you don’t believe want you there. You have no home, no money, two jobs and no one to love you except your sons.
You keep dreaming of this big break, this chance encounter that will allow you to make oodles of money and take care of your sons and you truly believe this can happen, though it hasnt yet.
You finished your first book! Yay! Has it ben published yet? Did you give up on that dream?
At this point in your life, you still don’t believe that any man could truly love you. You don’t believe you’re worthy of anyone’s love. Did you give up on that as well or have you experienced differently?
I don’t know what to say to encourage you at this point. I hope you don’t need it.
Kim is doing well, teaching all kind of internet training and I’m so jealous! Tamara just moved into her new apartment and she’s so excited and in love with D. I don’t really like him but I like him for HER.
Anna’s wilding out still in Orlando, trying to decide if she’s gonna stay with her hubby. Teenie is engaged and so happy.
I’m okay..Just hoping to have my sons back with me sometime soon. Just started working at Denny’s and Westgate. Are you still at either of those places?
You know..I have this feeling you are going to be a star.
I just have this feeling.
I love you,
Ms. Tee
