birthday

30, Flirty, & Thriving

It’s my 30th birthday today!

AHHHH! How did that even happen?

I’ve learned a lot in my 30 years and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for this new era in my life!

To commemorate this big birthday I want to share some of the biggest life lessons I’ve learned so far. As someone who feels like I’ve lived through several lives, lost people, loved, been hurt, made my dreams realities and everything in between there are a few big things I’ve learned so far!

Lesson 1: Love with all your heart.

Yes this could hurt you later on but loving with your whole self could be the best feeling in the world! I have the most amazing husband that I love with all my heart. I only found him after loving the wrong guys but I never felt like I didn’t try. As far as family, same thing. I never don’t tell my parents I love them, they are beyond the most special people to me. Always tell people that you love them!

Lesson 2: Be true to who you are.

I mostly understood this early on. I grew up ballroom dancing, living in a world that kids my age didn’t understand. Dancing was my first true love, something that was always true to who I am. As I’ve gotten older I’ve grown more to understand it’s ok to not like everything that everyone else likes and make the decisions that best serve you. Be you and do what you want to do!

Lesson 3: Follow your dreams, make them a reality!

Within the last few years I’ve really understood what it’s like to turn your dreams in reality. I’m living a life I never thought possible. I never thought I could work for myself and live a life I created, but here we are a little over a year into and I could never go back! I took a leap and it paid off! Make your dreams a reality, anything is possible!

Just some food for thought! Now I’m off to celebrate this day!

My Golden Birthday!-Turning 28 On The 28th!

Today is my Golden Birthday! 28 on the 28th!

I had the idea about 6 months ago that I really wanted to celebrate this huge milestone and special birthday! My man made my dream a reality and set up a gold shoot with my photographer Kate for me! Thanks babe! I’ve been reflecting over the past several months on my life and how I’ve evolved and grown and I’m so proud of who I am and have become!

I’ve learned several things over my 28 years and my biggest one is love yourself, it doesn’t matter what others think! No matter what size I’ve learned to love myself in that moment! Embrace who you are and enjoy where you are in life right now! Don’t wait to enjoy things!

I’ve learned it’s quality over quantity. I’m thankful for the relationships I’ve built, my family and I are the tightest bound unit along with my relationship with my fiance, he’s my biggest supporter next to my parents, and the amazing friends I have in my life, I’m blessed! I have people that would do anything for me and me them I don’t need tons of friends I need a few AMAZING friends and I have some of the BEST!

I’ve learned to take care of myself, I don’t need to go to every event, please everyone, it’s my life and I need to make myself happy, I can’t make everyone happy all the time. It’s helped me learn balance, I’m still working on it but it’s key.

Lastly one big thing I’ve learned it to let go of negativity, someone is negative you don’t need them around. Someone is rude to you, leave. You don’t need to subject yourself to something that makes you unhappy or uncomfortable. Life if to short to be be unhappy so I’m making choices in my life that are providing true happiness and positive moments!

28 is going to be so so good to me I can feel it! Big changes are coming and I can’t wait for it!
