Pearls of Wisdom

 I do not profess to be the wisest woman, but I have learned a few truths. These pearls of wisdom I will share with you (specifically, my granddaughters) will serve you well in life. I hope you know these things and remember how much I love you.

· Never date a married man. If he cheats on his wife, he will cheat on you.
· If anyone, even your best friend, asks you to co-sign a loan, tell them NO.
· Don’t be on time. Be early.
· Buy the best shoes you can afford, even if it means having fewer pairs.
· Save your money and travel. When you return, begin saving for your next trip.
· If you spend over 15 minutes deciding to buy something, you don’t want it.
· Have a good firm handshake.
· Own at least one outfit for every occasion.
· Always have cash in your wallet.
· Pearls never go out of style. Treasure Yours.
