As I step into my 38th year, I’ve been reflecting on a year that’s had some real highs but also some brutal lows. The older we get, the tougher life seems to become, more challenges, more curveballs, and just when you think you’ve got it figured out, another wave hits.
But the truth is, we all go through it, in different ways and at different times. What’s really sunk in for me lately is how unbelievably precious time is. Wasting it on things (or people) that don’t bring joy or fulfillment? Not worth it.
Grinding to the point of burnout isn’t cool. Saying “yes” to everything just in case it leads somewhere- Also not it.
So this year, my favorite word is NO. Year 38 is about choosing joy, protecting my energy, and pouring my time into the things and people that align with my dreams, not everyone else’s.
And speaking of precious time, check out this stunning cake. Delivered to my door the night before my birthday by a beautiful friend who poured her heart and energy into making something special for me (something I’m usually doing for others). Words can’t even describe how much that meant… and honestly, it’s hands down the best cake I’ve ever eaten! 🎂
