Today I turn 31. I feel like I should have some really glorious words of wisdom for you, since I’m older and obviously wiser. But pretty much the main thing I wanted to come on here and express to anyone reading this is gratitude. Thank you for being here. You even just being on my blog right now supports me and helps me, and without you I truly could not do what I love every day. I hope in this year of 31 I am able to bring you valuable content that gives that same thing back to you; I hope to encourage, inspire, and support you in living out YOUR dream. We are all just figuring it out as we go along, but what I’ve definitely learned here in my time on earth is that we are able to do so much more than we ever believe…if we just believe in ourselves and each other. I believe in you. I hope you will go out there and be unapologetically yourself, no matter what society tries to tell you is the mold. You don’t need hair extensions, or fake eyelashes, or the nicest, newest wardrobe. You need a good heart and one that beats for the things that really matter. You need not compare your worth to others that may appear to have those things… trust me, you do not know what else they lack that you have…so focus on the good & beautiful things in your life. We are blessed and I am so thankful for you!
I won’t be having any wine tonight (#pregnant) but I will be enjoying a piece of cake bigger than my head (not this one, I ate this one the day we took these pictures, lol) but definitely another one. We are going out to dinner for my birthday at a restaurant I’ve been wanting to go to for YEARS…and finally we thought about it enough ahead of time to snag a reservation. Can’t wait to share b-day dinner details on the blog next week.
I hope you will treat yourself today in some way, too. Do it for me, as a birthday gift. Sending you love & I hope you have a great weekend!
xo,
Bess
