It’s my Birthday today! A turn of a decade is here for my big ol’ 30th.

It feels like a miracle to live here, be in my body, and experience my life.

You guys know what I mean!

When you’re little, life is so different, you know? When I was a kid, I always dreamed of what my life would be like at this age and never thought I’d be…

A.) So bright! I wouldn’t say I liked reading, school, or anything that had to do with learning when I was a child. But little did I know I just needed to learn about things I wanted to know! lol Today, I can’t get enough of it and usually gotta check myself with a “hey, do I really need another book or to take another course?” YES! lol

B.) Be so well versed in the diversification of people! Most likely, like you, I enjoy my solo time. I talk in my head more often than out loud & it takes me time to really open up to people. But oh man, do I know so many amazing people, and they know me! It’s such a blessing to have helped so many people and that they’ve helped me too!

C.) A really simple woman that loves simplicity! After all my years of traveling, living out west, connecting with people, relationships, I’ve never appreciated the simplicity of life as I do now. Living in my hometown, dating someone that’s also a native, being around family and a handful of good friends is my happy place. My future land and hemp farm never felt so natural (and ya’ll know I’ve lived in some off-grid places lol), But rn, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else but living out this simplicity.

D.) Feeling so confident & healthy in my body! Yes, I was sick earlier this week. Yup, I ate chic-fi-la last night for dinner, and no, I haven’t been killing myself in my workouts lately, but it’s O.K. I still feel so yummy in my frame, and most of all, I’m not beating myself up for not being a Nazi with my diet & workouts!! Years ago, I would tear myself apart for “slacking,” but now I have the confidence to know I can enjoy these things and also still be on track with my health. It’s allllll about the balance, and I’m having fun with that right now!

Anywho, I wrote this today because if you’re having trouble appreciating yourself and the wonderful person you ARE! I hope this helps you praise the little but huge things about you.

Your divine uniqueness + the road you’ve paved over the years!

Have a high & healthy weekend, ya’ll,
