I was born exactly fourteen days after the new year. This is usually a time off deep reflection for me. First off with gratitude to God for the blessing of another year around the sun. It truly is a present in itself, the gift of being alive. I woke up to my mother’s videos on whatsapp, singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSHIE! It was the sweetest thing ever.

Today is a new chapter in my life. I can honestly tell you that this book is getting very interesting. I think about the space I was in last year, the things I used to worry about so much that don’t take up any space in my mind. The toxic relationship, the worry of things to come, and of the things I surprised myself by accomplishing. All of these things are worthy of being grateful. It’s a great reminder that after everything, I’m still okay and life is beautiful!

As a lover of all things wit and wisdom, quotes are always peppered with them, I will wrap up bday post with words by Victoria Erickson

“I love getting older. My understanding deepens. I can see what connects. I can weave stories of experience and apply them. I can integrate the lessons. Things simply become more and more fascinating. Beauty reveals itself in thousands of forms.”

Thank you for stopping by :)
