Today is my birthday. It’s my favorite. This pic, I believe, is from the hospital soon after I was born. I love this fuzzy head babe, and I love looking back at the life she’s lead.
Here are a few highlights.
•After high school I moved to Southern California to join a performing arts group, the Young Americans. With this group I was able to travel all over the US and several European counties. I also met my best friend, he loved me more than I felt worthy of. I think he’s (at least part of) why I now love so fiercely now.
•While traveling in England my best friend passed away suddenly from a heart attack. He was far too young, and it was very sudden. Grief changes you, probably forever.
•While touring with the performing group I found an article in a magazine, something like “ Jennifer Aniston’s Yoga Workout,” I tore these pages out and took them everywhere with me for years, following this same sequence and beginning my yoga practice. Since then I’ve gone much deeper into my practice and I even instruct. Yoga has helped to pull me out of some of my hardest moments and is one of the reasons I am doing okay now after a very difficult few years.
•I can’t talk about life changes moments without mentioning meeting my sweet husband. We were in church and I saw this handsome man. He knew my roommate and I was thrilled that I was going to get to know him better. He loves me, a lot and I feel the same. 🥰
Congrats if you’ve made it to the end. Thanks for being here and getting to know me a bit better.
If you want to gift me something for my birthday, be kind to someone and/or plant a tree.
Love you dear ones.
