Twenty-eight✨

I do not even know where to begin, because this day has significant meaning in a whole new way this year. The stars could not have aligned more perfectly. When your journey aligns in an inextricable way, you can’t help but acknowledge it. Introspection, reflection, and realizing a peace and high vibration, I have mastered.

I do not view this year as the worst one yet, but rather the one that has allowed for the most clarity. It has, in fact, so far provided that clear view that I needed and the time to meditate intently on what I believe is already mine. Practicing mindful meditation and loving kindness have shifted my being. Negative thoughts come and go, but the positive energy supersedes and exudes a particular grace and gratitude. Last year, when I blew out my candles, I wished for one thing, and exactly on this day one year later, my wish has been granted. And the timing is by no mistake. I’m evolving daily and pivoting within the journey, if necessary.

The celebration of life has a whole new meaning this year. The morality of life is uniquely yours, and our journey from the womb to earth was our very first battle. There’s nothing that can’t be overcome by mindful intention, evaluation of self and reflection on the external. So, today I celebrate twenty-gr8 years on this earth and claim many more!
