My 28th Year




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. 
Received a promotion at work. 
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!

I believe in celebration.




I believe in celebrating birthdays.
I believe each birthday should be celebrated to it's full extent. I don't understand people who don't party their birthday away. A birthday is the date of entry into the world —  but each subsequent year is worth even more celebration. Each year marks new goals accomplished and new adventures...so celebrate!

People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating we see to be amused or entertained. Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or appreciation. To be entertained is a passive state — it is to receive pleasure afforded by an amusing act or spectacle...Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one's actions. — Abraham Joshua Heschel

Well, today is Husband's 27th birthday and it is definitely reason to celebrate.

Nick, you are the most amazing person I have ever met. You are an inspiration to me and so many others — just by being you, with your motivation, dedication and simple smiles. This past year has been an adventure and every year it just keeps getting better and better. I wish blessings upon you today and for this new year. May you have much happiness, many successes and fresh adventures — I look forward to traveling alongside you.

Happy birthday soul mate.
