Last year, author Courtney Summers posted:
"I write about girls.
"I write about girls because every girl deserves the opportunity to pick up a book and see herself in its pages.
"I write about girls because girls, and their stories, matter.
"It's my way of letting them know."
On April 14th, 2015, she posted this with the hashtag #tothegirls to tell girls all over the world that they are seen, heard, and loved. People all over the world chimed in on social media, posting messages of support and encouragement, sharing thoughts and quotes both funny and profound.
Today, January 21st, it's time to spread the word again. Use the hashtag #tothegirls2016 along with your personal message of support and encouragement on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, your blog, your vlog, wherever you see fit. Write a note on your wipe-off board on the door of your dorm room or stick a Post-It note on your family's fridge or bathroom mirror. Share the message, and share the love.

A few thoughts from me to the girls in 2016 and beyond:
You are awesome.
You can do this.
Just breathe.
Just believe.
