29TH BIRTHDAY

This year for my birthday I really wanted to keep it simple.  I wanted to be surrounded by love and support- so that’s what I did. I spent some time shopping with my mom, which we haven’t done in years. I bought myself things for my new place. I splurged on items I wouldn’t usually buy for myself. I spent time with people who really care about me and are supportive of who I am. Lately, I’ve been receiving love and affirmations from unexpected people and places. A big part of my life now is accepting love in all of its forms – and believing that I deserve it. All my life I thought I loved myself, but I see now that I am just starting. I am just now coming to a place where I am in love with my total being. This is the most transformative space I’ve ever been in aside from becoming a mother. Creating a calm but intentional environment for my birthday has supported me greatly in this hectic chapter. I have so many things I manifested and hoped for the last couple years. I’ve accomplished so much because I made the decision to go after the things that I want. I am proud of myself and how independent I am becoming. 

Last night, we had dinner and drinks at The Americano inside of The Joule Hotel - downtown Dallas. Afterward’ we went to my house and had a few more drinks. I was happy, at ease – listening to my music, sipping wine. Surrounded by family and friends. It was lovely. This year I want to focus on giving myself the best things without feeling guilty for it. I want to be more decisive and start trusting my first mind. This is the last year of my 20’s and I want to wrap this decade up with grace and happiness.
