There is no way to happiness. Happiness is my way.
Hello birthday plus one.
This moment marks the beginning of a milestone for me - the year that will hold and unfold more unknown surprises as I stay deeply rooted in the things I value: grace, kindness and simplicity. I had always wanted to change the world, make some impact. As I read the birthday wishes from each and everyone of you, it is a testament of how you celebrate me and I honor our friendships. I believe people should be treasured much like morning coffee and rain showers. I am thankful beyond the stars and moon for the friends and other people who care about me that I have in my circle. My loved ones will protect me. I am grateful for their loyalty. And for that I am deeply loved. We are deeply interconnected and I thank you so immensely for the love, fun, support and amazing memories.
Life is suppose to be about the journey, but all too often, we are so focused on where we think we are going, we never appreciate where we are. All I want to do is slow down and simply draw my family and friends close. My birthday wish for you is to soak up this moment with me, whether we share space physically or not, you are etched into my heart. A very very glad heart makes for a very happy face. I STINKIN ADORE ALL OF YOU!!!!!
Life is too too short and too fragile not to say what you mean and go after what you want. Not every day is good but there is always something good in every day. Give yourself a break. Give yourself credit. Give yourself time. Give yourself attention. Give yourself love. Give yourself power. Give yourself to you. I will be forever humble because I could have less. I will be always forever grateful because I know I have had less. This is how your crush. This is how you fall in love with yourself first. This is how you fall in love with life.
14 months, 58 weeks, and a whole lot of workouts later, I LOVE how my body is healthy and fit. Just having celebrated my birthday yesterday, I could not be more grateful. My body defies its age. I thank it for its bad assery, resilience, capacity to continue to be magnamious and beautiful. Age is of no importance unless you are wine, cheese or leftovers. But more importantly, I am even MORE in love with the soul that resides in that body... without a doubt a forever kind of thing.
This past year has taught me not to postpone enjoyment. Any opportunity to enjoy, take it. Happiness is more than a gift, more than a reward. I got more than I could ask for. THANK YOU for making this quiet birthday even more special. I really got spoiled more than I could ever give back. Here’s to another year of joy, success and a thousand adventures well lived ♥
