every year I try to make some super sappy, inspirational post for my birthday that maybe no one cares about. but to me it's important because i get to revisit who I was, what I was going through, what I was thinking during that time.Â
for days I've tossed it over in my mind and really what I've got is gratitude.Â
32 years and I'm just really freaking grateful to be alive.Â
To be here.Â
To be reflecting on a year that truly shaped me and shifted me in more ways than I can count.
to be a mom and a wife.Â
to still have a business that I love that supports meÂ
this last year was the best and probably most challenging year of my life.Â
my first full year of being a mom brought a lot of lessons, a lot of firsts.Â
A lot of tears and moments that I truly wondered what the hell was going on (I'm guessing that never really ends).Â
ANDÂ
it was also a year of insurmountable joy, of love breaking my heart wide open and filling in the cracks I didn't know were there.Â
my days are filled with wonder and awe as I grow with my son. he teaches me so much about the world and myself.Â
every moment truly is a blessing (the good and the bad) because I didn't know if we'd ever end up here.Â
I pray that I never take for granted this gift I have been given.
32, thank you for all of the lessons, for the healing, for the love and for the heartbreak.Â
33, I'm ready for this to be the best year yet ;) show me how good it can get
