Dear Alice,

What an honour to be chosen as your godmother. I will endeavour to be as good a friend and guide to you, as your parents have been to me.

Think Like A Tree:

Soak up the sun

Affirm life's magic

Be graceful in the wind

Stand tall after a storm

Feel refreshed after it rains

Grow strong without notice

Be prepared for each season

Provide shelter to strangers

Hang tough through a cold spell

Emerge renewed at the first signs of spring

Stay deeply rooted while reaching for the sky

Be still long enough to

hear your own leaves rustling.

I look forward to the trip we will take to Scotland to see your grove of trees.

Fondest love,

Godmother Nave
