Today marks 44 years around the sun. ☀️ Feeling spoilt and loved on from the moment I opened my eyes this morning. I felt held.
My only intention today was simple: to do whatever brought me joy. No rushing. No proving.No fixing.
No carrying. Just receiving - from those around me, from myself, from life.
I gave myself the gift of truly trying to be in each moment. A practice I often forget! There was family time, yoga, cold plunge, tea in the sunshine, lunch and soon I’m off to have a massage then dinner and cake. I walked past a thousand “messes” and chose to let them be and just do me today. I’m going to extend this birthday vibe as long as I can or at least until tomorrow morning 😂 when it’s my littlest 11th birthday!!
This past year has felt a little like being in the caterpillar soup. The messy middle. The place where things fall apart before they become something new.
There have been moments of fear, uncertainty, grief, growth, surrender, and more lessons than I would have willingly signed up for.
But today, I’m not reflecting on what I’ve accomplished and counted my blessing.
I’m simply grateful..
To be alive. To love and be loved. To keep becoming.
To have another year to laugh, learn, heal, create, and experience this beautifully imperfect life.
Today I’m celebrating me. Not from ego. From gratitude.
