My 26th Birthday!

Today is my 26th birthday!🫶🏼

This has been one of the best years of my life! All the challenging things I went through adds fuel to my fire for next year. I showed up for myself through EVERYTHING & now, I have never felt more loved, empowered, free, determined

My life became a reflection of my wildest dreams

I have been paying attention to things I do that are normal for me & make a difference in my life but maybe not for everyone so I wrote this out for my own future reference & hope it might help you!

Included but not limited to; saying thank you when I wake up, going to bed recognizing how I supported myself, doing the extra little thing in the moment as though it’s as important as the big task, talking to loved ones daily, wearing my heart on my sleeve, looking at the sun & listening to the birds, paying attention to my body’s needs & nourishing her, celebrating the life I live in the process of building upon it—not taking it for granted, reading, journaling, being intentional with my energy, standing up to my fears & doubts to take leaps of faith that has brought more than I could have ever imagined into my life, putting on nice outfits & jewelry more frequently, fostering genuine community & connections, laughing without holding back, listening to music that feeds my mood & my soul, talking to my long distance best friend (more like sister) on the phone every week for years on end, celebrating my courage, prioritizing the rep over the set-the process over the product- the impact over the income…& so on, I ask how everything I do does or does not align with my values, I know my routines make up my life so I prioritize accordingly, I consistently practice the mental health & communication tools that have supported my healing….there’s certainly more I don’t have space to list

I know I am not meeting all my standards or expectations as I aim to reach new levels each day, but I don’t expect perfection from myself

In sharing this, I feel appreciation for myself & everyone who has helped me to live my dreams & all the incredible people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting or spending time with this year or connecting online❤️

Thanks for being part of it🥹☀️
