The big 4-0

Hi friends! I hope that you’re having an amazing week! I’m taking the day off today because both kids are under the weather… and it’s my bday!

TBH, I don’t typically enjoy birthdays. Another year on the calendar; a tangible reminder of the things I want to achieve but haven’t yet accomplished.

This year feels different. This year, I just feel gratitude for this life, our family, our friends that feel like family, and for another year of amazing memories. I heard a rumor that 40s are even better than 30s, so I’m hoping it’s true! 

Here are some of the things I learned after four decades on this beautiful planet:

– Start each day with gratitude. It will affect your mindset and actions for the entire day.

– It’s ok to change your mind when presented with new information.

– Trust in God with all your heart.

– Just because it works for one person, doesn’t mean it works for everyone.

– Health is one of the best investments you can make. When you’re sick, nothing else matters

– Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself

– The healing power of a walk outside in the sunshine

– Everything is temporary. This is a good thing, but also a bad thing.

– Your habits and mindset are a reflection of who you surround yourself with. My tribe inspires me every single day with motherhood, work, relationships, and life.

– Live a life that’s true to YOU that you love. Find pockets of joy in the day.

– Be thankful for the past, hopeful for the future, yet grounded in the present.

Thank you for being a part of my journey, friends.

We’ll be spending the day hanging out, and capping it off with some gluten-free funfetti cake tonight.

I’ll see ya tomorrow!

xoxo
