"An unexamined life is not worth living." In the lesson that follows Dixon correctly perceives that there are three types of people in this world: 1) those who want to change and do; 2) those who don't want to change and never will; and 3) those who want you to think they have changed and have not. One of my favorite lessons is the eighth one which begins with a quote from Dr. Wayne Dyer: "The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind." And as Dixon reminds us, "As we get older, it's not the things we did that we regret, it's the things we didn't do that we regret even more. Live your life so you have few regrets." In other words, don't be the person who looks back and says I could have, would have, should have, but I didn't do anything.

David A. Dixon informs us in his Notes to my Daughter: Living Life and avoiding Pitfalls that he commenced writing his book in April 1997, a month after his daughter Kenadi (which is pronounced Kennedy) was born. He further states that he felt his daughter was so precious that he had to create something to help her avoid many of the pitfalls in life. The culmination is a ninety-six page tome comprising fifteen compact lessons covering some of life's "biggies" including trust in God, friends...

Dr. Anderson's Review:
Notes to My Daughter is an insightful journey into the relationship between a father and his daughter. David Dixon writes from his heart as he shares life lessons. He reveals the depth of a father's love as he gives purposeful direction to help guide his daughter's life down a meaningful path. These are words that many daughters long to hear and father's often struggle to say. If you want to better understand the dynamic relationship between a father and daughter, Notes to My Daughter is a book you will definitely want to read.

Dr. Norwoods Review:
It is said that Good things come in small packages. That is exactly what you get with David Dixons book, Notes to My Daughter. It is written as a letter to his daughter Kenadi, and offers words of wisdom, cautionary tales, good common sense, and helpful advice. Davids insightful observations about men, love, money, relationships, boundaries, self-worth, and forgiveness will make you laugh, nod your head in agreement, and shout, Amen! Notes to My Daughter, a helpful and encouraging guide, should be required reading for any young woman (and her parents) as she embarks on the journey of life.
