Beyond Borders Within Self

Dear Friends and Loved Ones,

From the depths of my heart, thank you.

Thank you for showing up—not just in person, but with full hearts, open smiles, and boundless love. Thank you for dancing with me, crying with me, and celebrating with me as I stepped into this sacred milestone of turning 40.

Many of you gave me surprises that filled my soul. Some of you helped me carry parts of the program I was too overwhelmed to manage. Some of you just stood beside me, glowing with love. Your presence made that day shine.

I need to confess something that has been weighing on me. Despite all the joy, I forgot to book a videographer. I had only arranged for photography. It was a painful oversight, and I’ve carried deep regret for it. In my heart, I wanted to preserve every second, every dance, every smile on film. But it didn’t happen. And the loss of that memory haunts me sometimes more than I wish it did.

But this letter is not about that loss—it’s about you.

None of this is your fault, and I don’t want my sadness to take away from the beauty we shared. Please know: you gave me more than any camera could capture. You gave me a birthday etched in soul, not just film.

So thank you—for loving me, for standing beside me, for witnessing me. If I could relive the day, I would still choose every one of you.

With gratitude and all my love,
Gina

Dear My 40th Birthday,

You came into my life not as a party, but as a sacred milestone. You were more than a celebration—you were a promise kept, a vow renewed, and a love letter to the woman I have become. You were sky blue gowns, bare feet, laughter, and the rhythm of healing wrapped in music and memory.

You were not perfect—and that still aches. I forgot to capture you in motion. I forgot the videographer. And because of that, I’ve cried. I’ve blamed myself. I’ve grieved the lost footage as if I lost the day itself.

But the truth is, you happened.

You happened in the sparkle of surprise on my face. In my niece’s dance beside me. In the tears that fell as I walked alone in a wedding gown—marrying myself, finally. In the way my sisters slipped messages into my dress like blessings into sacred silk. In the bold red woman who danced at the end, unashamed and free.

You happened in the hearts of those who came for me, who clapped, laughed, embraced, and lifted me up.

And while I may not have video proof, I have something more alive: the feeling. The warmth. The sound of my own laughter echoing in my chest.

So, my dear birthday… I will no longer remember you only for what was missing. I choose to remember you for what you gave me:

A living memory. A soulful turning point. A day where joy outweighed regret.

Thank you for being mine. I lived you fully—and that is enough.

With all my heart,
Gina

Did you know that most people go through seven emotional stages when coping with a breakup or significant loss?
Whether it's the end of a romantic relationship, the death of a loved one, or even the loss of a career, these stages reflect the emotional journey of letting go and moving forward. Understanding these phases is essential—it allows us to recognize where we are emotionally, process our experiences with compassion, and navigate each stage with greater clarity and resilience.

The 7 stages of a breakup mirror the emotional rollercoaster of grief and healing. While not everyone experiences them in the same order—or even all of them—they offer a helpful framework for understanding what many people go through when a relationship ends.

The 7 Stages of a Breakup
- Ambivalence
- Denial and Shock
- Anger and Resentment
- Bargaining and Negotiation
- Depression and Sadness
- Acceptance and Healing
- Growth and Moving On

These stages aren’t linear—you might bounce between them, revisit some, or skip others entirely. But they all reflect the deep emotional processing that comes with losing someone who once meant the world to you.

Don’t worry too much about what you are going through today. Learn from it but don’t dwell in it. Feel it and then… let go. What’s your’s will find you no mater what happens. Everything you deserve will come to you. It will manifest. You’ll see. Whether be love, personal growth, knowledge, friendship, moving on and healing. Whatever it may be, it will come to you. It will find you and stay with you. You will end up where you belong.

Many people say I’m strict—and they’re absolutely right. But I also know that those close to me can see the kindness and sincerity in my heart. That kindness is genuine, and it has remained steady through the years.

Over time, I’ve built a small but real circle of friends—people I can truly call on. I’m deeply thankful that after all these years, they still recognize the person I truly am.

And to the incredible woman on my left Agnes Rosales: thank you. Your unwavering support in helping care for my daughters while I focused on building my career means more than words can express.

It's not easy to leave your children behind to look out for my children. But still you manage to have a more succesful daughter Kiara Camelle Rosales.

Don't get frustrated of the delays, everything happen for a reason. Just like the passenger of the air india who was 20mins late and was not able to board on the planed that was crashed. She was saved because of the delay.
So if your plan in life has been delayed, don't get frustrated. You are just in the right place of where you should be.

Not everyone is destined to be a chef- some are simply meant to keep the conversation flowing while the meal is being made

The bitterness of coffee is never just about the beans; it’s about the person drinking it. Some sip it with ease, accustomed to its depth, while others flinch, longing for more sweetness. Life’s hardships, much like coffee, are tolerated differently depending on the resilience of the one holding the cup.

Don't let anyone make you feel bad about your decisions. Your happiness is your top priority.

Everything unfolds with purpose, so don’t dwell on disappointments—embrace the journey as it comes.

- A canceled trip might be a sign that it wasn’t the right time or place for you to go.
- A failed plan could be redirecting you toward a brighter future in a different location or at a better moment.
- A relationship that didn’t work out might simply mean that the right person is still out there, waiting to cross paths with you—so keep searching with an open heart.

Let life lead the way!
