I am turning 35 this weekend. I know it's doesn't sound old but it definitely sounds older than 34.
I believe so much in fate and our path of life that when I was 16 I went to a palm reader. She actually said a lot of things that stand true: I would have three kids, I would own my own business by 35. What she didn't get right is the initials of the man I would marry or the gender of my children. I always had her words in the back of my head like my destiny was in her hands. Almost 20 years later I learned a lot and I am grateful to be able to spend another birthday.
My life is such a world wind with three kids and us now putting our house on the market since we need more space. I am constantly moving and life never sits still. It is work but I am loving it and I must say I am so much happier now than twenty years ago and even ten and five years ago. Life has taught me a lot and here are some things I want to share
*Be a leader and role model: there is no greater joy than seeing someone follow your path and advice. Especially when it comes to parenting. I act like I know what I am doing but I am just trying to treat my kids the way I want someone to treat me.
*Enjoy relationships and friendships: relationships take work and so do friendships. Work at it. Don't take it for granted. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Making it work is easier than a divorce. Get help if you need it. Friendships help you see a part of you that you didn't know. Cherish them!
*Pay your bills and on time: Good credit is so important. My credit luckily is amazing and when people tell me I respond I just pay my bills in full and on time. Do the same. I always said what's the point in having money in the savings if you are paying interest on bills.
*Love Yourself : the only person you are gaurenteed to spend the rest of your life with is...Yourself. So be good to yourself. Eat healthy. Try not to stress.
*Don't Regret: don't regret things. If it's stuff that happened then it happened because it was meant to happen. If you Regret something you said then apologize and move forward.
*Stop the what ifs...what is meant to be will be.
Happy Birthday To Me!
