In 2 days I will complete my 38th year on the planet. I can honestly say that though I am not where I thought I would be at this age, I am much more focused, inspired, determined and just plan happy than I was 10 years ago. I remember on my 28th birthday feeling this panic; as though time was running out for me. I had not accomplished even half of what I had mapped out on the 10 year plan I made for myself when I was 13 and updated every year after to keep it consistently 10 years (yes, I’m a Capricorn). I felt like if I didn’t get things going I would realize the worst nightmare a Capricorn soul could have. I would be a failure. Now here I stand 10 years later and though I am a little short of the goals set I am so much richer for having lived those years. In that time I learned quite a few things 1) YOU have to love and believe in YOU before anything will ever happen. 2) Each day is another chance to get it right (no judgment). 3) Dreams may or may not come true, but they definitely won’t if you don’t try. 4) If you’re special to just 1 person, you are special and lastly I learned the lesson that my parents tried to teach me long ago Be loving, Be Kind, but most importantly, Be YOU!
So as I bring a close to this 38th year and prepare for the next I do so full of the hope and wonder of youth and supported by the wisdom and experience of age. I am back in school now. I am making and selling Jewelry. I am writing and making music. I am forging ahead with the knowledge that life isn’t perfect but it’s well worth the living. And I am excited at the possibilities that live on the other side of all these lessons I have learn. There is no limit to what can happen. Happy B’earth Day to ME!
