Well, just when I think I’ve had a rough year and feel like I don’t know how I’ll make it through comes another yearly mark to remind me that everything will be okay and I’ve made it.
It’s funny because me and my friends have been talking about our big 30 for sometime now and how we are so okay with it. I am happy to report that I still am, even with all the extra grey hairs and ever so slightly slower metabolism. I say bring it on! Okay, maybe not the grey hairs because I really don’t want to have to start dying my hair quite yet.
This last year I took a chance and have been working my face off to get my photography business going along with learning how to balance stress in my life. I haven’t been as successful as I’d like to be, but I’ll get there. I’ve also learned to clear some of the clutter in my life. Like relationships that I chase and don’t reciprocate the same feeling, keeping a distance from negative energy and taking more time to invest in those who invest in me.
For this year I am committing myself to concentrate more on my yoga, shoot more weddings, do more creative photo projects, write more and work with Kris on a new business venture that I’m really excited about. Umm, yes, that should keep me busy.
To celebrate here are some photos from the photo swap and Beka’s take on me.
Embracing all the curly noodles, yes!
Here I am 30 with open arms, I’m embracing you. Just be good to me and I’ll be good to you. While I’m at it, I would love to thank my parents for planning my birth in the summer, specifically August since Leo’s have great power qualities (just look up how many presidents and leaders are Leos, I dare you) and it makes birthday celebrations a lot funner. Like going to the spa for free on my birthday!!!!!
I’m so glad I got to spend yet another year celebrating with you! I don’t know that I’ll embrace 30 as well as you, but I will try! I <3 U!
