Thanks to my friends and family for making this girl feel so loved throughout my life, and now, as I’ve entered my 50th year! If I could go back and tell this little girl some things I’d wish I knew then or would learn along the way, it would be this:
1. You are beautiful and whole. Don’t ever compare yourself to anyone.
2. You are a natural giver and healer, but always take care of your needs first.
3. The rug will be pulled from under you, many times, but you will create a strong enough foundation, so it will be ok.
4. Your ride or die childhood friends will still be there as an adult.
5. Traveling and exploring the world is amazing, but the key is feeling at home and at peace wherever you are.
6. Listen to that inner voice because it will never lead you astray.
7. Your parents were right; your sisters will always be your best friends.
8. You can still seek peace and love but do not compromise yourself in the process.
9. Red hair doesn’t look good on you. Just don’t.
10. I know you thought you wanted to get married and start a family young, but once you focused on your spiritual path and inner work, you merited an amazing partner and the two of you brought in 2 special souls to the world. It’s worth the wait.
11. You will lose your father suddenly, but he will be around forever.
12. Don’t chase after people who don’t align with you or see your value.
13. You will leave California and move to a farm in Georgia. I know it sounds crazy but it’s the best thing you could’ve done for yourself and your family.
14. Appreciate your youthful innocence. And, of course, those long skinny legs and great hair.
Oh, little Alli 🥰 We’ve got this!! Here’s to 50 more!
