Twenty-one things to think about when turning 21.

In today's Home Planet, I wrote a letter to my daughter who just turned 21.
I gave her a list of twenty-one things to think about now that she's an adult.

People in my house don't alway read what I write. But, this time, I hope my daughter takes a peek at it.
Or, I could just get her to listen to the column on the Spokesman-Review podcast.

It probably just sounds like nagging to her now. But, perhaps in a few years she'll find something she needs in my words.

What a well-written article! I am so glad that I stumbled upon it as I was searching the Internet. I am turning 21 in a couple days and I couldn't agree more with your words of wisdom.

As a mom of a just turned 21 I have to applaud your words of advice. What you have written really sums it all up. I have printed a copy for my "grown up baby" and I know she will treasure it always.
