A New Year's Message from Melissa
Dearest Community,
By now, you’ve likely seen the usual New Year messages — invitations to reset, set goals, make resolutions, reinvent ourselves...
And while I love a fresh start as much as anyone, today I'm inviting you to hit pause on the resolutions, and take a moment for reflection — not on what needs to change, but on everything you're already doing right.
The care you give. The patience you've found. The quiet strength you've offered. The traditions you've carried. The meals you've prepared for others — all the simple, beautiful ways you already show up for the people you love (and for yourself, too).
There’s so much talk about what to do better next year. But today, I hope you’ll thank yourself for the woman you've already become.
I’m so grateful to be walking alongside this community of strong, thoughtful women. You remind me—over and over again—that showing up with heart matters.
And, I'd love it if you would share with me in the comments below, some of the things — great and small — that you've done beautifully in this past year.
Here’s to carrying that into whatever comes next.
With love,
Melissa

Happy new year 🎆🎈🎊 btw . I’m sure you don’t wanna be known as that little girl ? But gosh darn it you are n so beautiful then and still now . I’m not good at editing. I’m horrible at it. I forgot to mention in my last comment I do love your decor /home and your sleepwear. So I’m looking forward to keeping up with some in your shop and hopefully 🤞 I’ll get some xtra $ u kno ? After Xmas .. I feel there are make a permanent shopper on myself on this app signing off Bonnie Riggle.
Thank you Melissa for simply being YOU :)
I don’t know where to start I’m greatful for so
Much .. and I see that you did not just disappear out of sight out of mind. That’s a wonderful thing. I’ve always thought you’re amazing and little house. Of course we all did. I’m more than obsessed with it though when I wanna get away from everything, I just wash them the
episodes. I feel like there’s a little bit of something good in the shell and it’s Michael Landon really I apologize if he was alive you know I would be commenting to him but I’m telling you anybody that works with him had been the luckiest person ever he was such an amazing man And watching you grow up is so cute gosh darn it anyway I just know everything inside now and I just got to looking up the history about everybody and I noticed you had this modern Prairie so under anxious to keep checking in on it maybe shopping for something ,you need to know an feel like you’re really something else !! Because you are ..
Firstly, as a child, I grew up on LHOTP. Laura was a heroine! Melissa is inspirational. I turned 50 this year. It’s the first year I don’t feel pulled to make a resolution. I agree with making a quiet, earnest reflection. I am going to be intentionally mindful as I have already begun so doing. I’m so amazed by the growth of MP. I wish I could partake and sew a quilt. I’m not able to give my time to that endeavor as of yet. I wish you all well and look forward to hearing more good things about Girls Can Too! My teacher sorority, DKG, might be interested in learning more about it as well.
