My 28th Year

source

Each year when my birthday rolls  around, I cannot believe another year has passed. The time between 27 and 28, a lot has happened:

I traveled to 6 different countries and a few places around the US. 

Moved out of Husband's and my first apartment where we started out marriage. 

Purchased our first home. Yay for first-time mortgage holders. 

Grew our little family with a sweet little pup, Braxton. 

Hosted my first, full-out, big family holiday, Christmas!

Witnessed my sister's engagement. 

Received a promotion at work. 

Completed another 21 day cleanse.

And so much more in between!

In my 28th year, I am going to release my restless soul, and it is going to be incredible. I am going to expand my boundaries. I am going to create and design when my heart speaks. I am going to write when the words are in my head. I am going to experiment in the kitchen to open new worlds of flavor. I am going to launch. I am not going to hold back. I am just a two mere years away from thirty and there is no sense in holding back the true me. Life is short and goes so quickly. I am going to allow my soul to be free - in whatever manner it may need. There is no use in waiting...Here I am world. 

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows and the beauty of a woman only grows with the passing years. - Audrey Hepburn

So here's to a passionate 28th year. Cheers!
