So, On my birthday,I started to consider how I WANT to think about birthdays. Here's what I decided and thought :- 1. **Reflecting on Growth**: "As we celebrate another year, reflect on the lessons learned and the growth we achieved. Each birthday marks a new chapter filled with possibilities." 2. **Embracing Change**: "Birthdays remind us that life is a journey of growth and change. It embrace each new year with optimism and courage." 3. **Gratitude and Joy**: "Celebrate your birthday with gratitude for the precious gift of life and joy for the moments shared with loved ones." 4. **Setting Goals**: "On our special day, set new goals and aspirations. Let each birthday be a reminder to pursue your dreams with passion and determination." 5. **Celebrating Milestones**: "Every birthday is a milestone that deserves to be celebrated. Acknowledge how far you've come and look forward to the future with hope."

Another year around the sun! 🎂🎉 Today I want to share some thoughts as I celebrate my birthday and I'm reminded of the journey that brought me to where I am today in my professional career and in my life. Birthdays take on a whole new meaning as adults, don't they? They become more than just cake and candles; they mark another year of resilience, growth, and embracing life's challenges head-on. In this journey through adulthood, I've learned that every stumble is a chance to build strength, and every setback is an opportunity to rise even higher. It's a path that teaches us to be unyielding in the face of adversity and to believe in our ability to navigate through life's twists and turns. As we accumulate candles on our birthday cakes, we also accumulate experiences that shape us – both the failures and the triumphs. These experiences become our guiding stars, illuminating our path forward. And while we strive for successes, it's important to remember that they're not the only measure of our journey. The journey itself is where we find our true growth and wisdom. In this professional world, we often find ourselves sprinting toward goals and striving for achievements. But as we celebrate another year of life, let's remember that time is the most precious gift we have. It's a resource that, once spent, we can't regain. So let's use it wisely, embracing every moment, learning from every experience, and cherishing every connection we make along the way. Birthdays are a reminder that life is a precious gift, a collection of moments that shape us into who we are meant to be. So here's to embracing the challenges, celebrating the successes, and making the most of every single day. 🌟 A big special thanks to all the people who have been part of this journey and to everyone who is making this day even brighter with your warm wishes! #BirthdayThoughts #LifeJourney #ProfessionalGrowth #EnjoyEveryMoment #EmbraceTheJourney

🎉🪂 Birthdays are for celebrating life and embracing new experiences! 🪂🎉 Yesterday, I celebrated my birthday in the most exhilarating way possible: skydiving! 😃 It was an adventure that not only pumped up my adrenaline but also taught me valuable lessons about my career and life as a whole. 1️⃣ Embrace the unknown: Just like jumping out of a plane, taking risks in your career can lead to incredible growth and opportunities. Embrace the unknown, step out of your comfort zone, and watch your career soar to new heights! 2️⃣ Trust yourself: When you're thousands of feet in the air, there's no room for doubt. The same goes for your career. Trust your abilities, believe in your skills, and have confidence in your decisions. You're capable of achieving amazing things! 3️⃣ Enjoy the journey: As I descended through the clouds, I realized that the joy was not just in reaching the ground but in every single moment of the skydiving experience. Similarly, in your career, don't just focus on the end goal. Enjoy the journey, savor the small victories, and appreciate the lessons learned along the way. 4️⃣ Surround yourself with a supportive network: Skydiving requires a strong support system to ensure a safe and successful jump. Similarly, in your career, surround yourself with mentors, colleagues, and friends who uplift and encourage you. Together, you can achieve great heights! Birthdays are not just about cakes and presents; they're about reflection and growth. My skydiving adventure reminded me to seize opportunities, trust myself, enjoy the journey, and surround myself with amazing people. Here's to embracing the thrill of life and career! 🎂🪂🌟 #Birthdayadventure #Learningfromadventures #Careersessons #Embracethethrill #Reflectandgrow

Title: Embracing 56: Why Life Gets Better with Age As I celebrate my 56th birthday, I have come to realize that life truly does get better with age. With each passing year, I have grown more certain of who I am and what I bring to the table, and this sense of self-assuredness has brought a newfound sense of joy and fulfillment to my life. Through the ups and downs, the successes and failures, I have learned to embrace my strengths and weaknesses, knowing that they are what make me unique and valuable. I have come to understand that age is not a limitation, but rather a gift that allows us to tap into our inner wisdom and experience. In today's fast-paced world, where youth is often glorified, it is important to remember that age brings with it a wealth of knowledge and perspective that can only be gained through years of living and learning. As we age, we become more comfortable in our own skin, more confident in our abilities, and more at peace with who we are. So here's to turning 56 and all the wisdom and self-assurance that comes with it. Let's embrace the journey of aging with grace and gratitude, knowing that life truly does get better as we grow older. Cheers to the beauty of aging and all the possibilities that lie ahead.

Birthdays are special. But none quite as much as your mother's birthday. Today is my mom’s birthday! She's been the backbone of our family. Growing up, you did so much more than I ever realized: → You were up early, making sure everything was in order. → You cooked meals that were always perfectly timed and 🔥fire🔥 → You kept our home spotless. (Moving out teaches you a lot 😂 ) → You knew exactly what was needed for every practice & game. → You made holidays magical down to the ornaments on the tree. As a kid, I DEFINITELY took these for granted. (Isn't that typical though? 😂) But now, as I reflect, I see the impact of your meticulous care. My childhood was amazing because of your attention to detail: → Christmas mornings were magical because you wrapped every present perfectly and made sure every decoration was just right. → Every Spring, you got me the best baseball gear, knowing exactly what I needed (or thought I needed) to excel. → Our family vacations were unforgettable because you planned every detail, ensuring we had the best experiences. → When I got my first car at 16, it was spotless and ready for me because you made sure it was perfect. (I miss my Challenger so much) → My college experience was smooth because you handled all the preparations and made sure I had everything I needed. (Even though I failed 2 classes my first semester) As I write this today thinking of what you taught me, I recognize something jumps out more than anything: Attention to detail. You always knew the little things that made a big difference. Everyone benefits from attention to detail. (ESPECIALLY in my career as a financial planner now) It’s what transforms good into great. Being meticulous can change someone’s experience entirely. And when you need things to be just right? You realize how valuable that attention to detail is. I'm not saying to focus on details just to be perfect. I’m saying that life is better when you pay attention to the little things. All this to say... Happy birthday Mom. I wouldn’t be where I am without you and Dad. Dad provided for our family. You made sure everything was perfect. Thank you for equipping me with every tool to achieve success and teaching me the importance of attention to detail ❤️

🕰️ Nostalgia vs. Comfort: The Midlife Conundrum 🌟 Midlife often brings with it a unique paradox – a yearning for the simplicity of childhood while cherishing the comforts of adulthood. It's a reflection of our complex relationship with time and experience. ⏳ 👦 Remember the days when our biggest worries were scraped knees, homework, and playground adventures? Childhood's innocence and simplicity hold a special place in our hearts. We long for the times when life was carefree, and every day was an adventure. 🌟 On the flip side, as we grow older, we accumulate knowledge, experience, and resources. We work hard to achieve financial stability, career success, and a comfortable lifestyle. This pursuit often comes with a desire for modern comforts - a cozy home, convenient technology, and leisurely vacations. 🤔 So, why this tug-of-war between wanting to relive the past and enjoy present luxuries? 1️⃣ Nostalgia: Childhood memories are filled with wonder and curiosity. We remember the joy of discovery, the thrill of new friendships, and the simplicity of our dreams. Nostalgia is a powerful force, reminding us of a time when life felt unburdened. 2️⃣ Comfort: As adults, we appreciate the security and comfort that financial stability provides. We want to offer our families the best opportunities and experiences. Comfort represents the fruits of our labor and the ability to create a better life. 💡 The balance lies in embracing both aspects of our journey. Nostalgia reminds us of the value of simplicity, creativity, and wonder. It encourages us to maintain a youthful outlook on life. Meanwhile, the comforts of adulthood enable us to provide for ourselves and our loved ones, fostering security and well-being. 🌟 Ultimately, it's not about choosing one over the other. It's about integrating the lessons of the past with the blessings of the present. It's about finding joy in the memories of youth and savoring the achievements and comforts that come with maturity. 🤝 Let's celebrate the richness of our experiences, from childhood innocence to adult accomplishments, and cherish the unique tapestry of our lives. 🚀 #MidlifeReflections #Nostalgia #ComfortsOfAdulthood #LifeJourney #sunday

🎂 It's My Birthday, But... 🎂 Today marks another year around the sun for me. While birthdays are often filled with excitement, cake, and celebrations, I've come to realize something profound this year. 🎈 Why Birthday Celebrations Don't Excite Me Anymore? 🎈 Birthdays have always been about celebrating the passage of time, but for me, the focus has shifted. It's not about the day itself, but the journey, the growth, and the impact I aim to create every day. Here's why: 🔹 Growth Over Years: Each year, I've been evolving, learning, and pushing boundaries. My birthday is a reminder to reflect on my growth and set new goals. 🔹 Celebrating Daily Wins: Instead of waiting for one day to celebrate, I cherish the small victories and milestones achieved throughout the year. 🔹 Impact & Legacy: My excitement now comes from making a difference, whether it's through my work, helping others, or pursuing my passions. 🔹 Gratitude & Connections: I'm grateful for the incredible people in my life and the opportunities to connect, learn, and grow with them. Each interaction is a celebration. So today, instead of a grand celebration, I'm taking a moment to appreciate the journey, the lessons, and the incredible support I've received. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey. Here's to more growth, impact, and meaningful connections in the year ahead! 🌟 #BirthdayReflections #GrowthMindset #CelebrateLife

Why are people so eager to celebrate NY and get all dressed up etc? Because it seems like a special day. Because we’ve been told it’s a special day. Wait.. Isn’t every day supposed to be special? Aren’t we supposed to focus on making every day a great day? Why just NY? Valentines? Christmas, birthdays?! Since 2020, when I began my inner journey and spiritual awakening my views have changed. I am no longer participating in the fomo around these so called “special dates”. Because every day is a special day for me. I am not so eager to celebrate these dates because I am intentionally celebrating every day. I wake up with the intention of having an amazing day. Every single day. But most people aren’t living intentionally, they are wasting their precious energy on the work they hate, on relationships that don’t fulfill them, they betray their dreams and their purpose every day. Every day doesn’t matter to them. And so when they’re told that NY is special, it’s a chance for them to AT LEAST celebrate this “special” day. Because for them every other day of the year isn’t special at all. So instead of being manipulated to believe that there are only a few special days in a year and we should get exicted about them >> get excited every day. Be grateful every day. Live intentionally. Explore yourself to discover your purpose. Listen to your soul. Not what you’re told.

Last minute trip! Every year my husband and I like to do something for our birthdays vs give gifts. (Both early April bdays.) This year for whatever reason we started to try to plan something about 4 weeks ago but nothing seemed to be landing. We spent a morning trying to get to figure out what we wanted to do and nothing! His birthday came. Then mine. On my birthday, I was asked about 100 times what are you doing to celebrate. And I did not have any plans. In a moment of reflection, I was somewhat ok with it. Really after the last couple of weeks, I just wanted to chill. Relax. And enjoy my family. Those words kept on rolling around in my head. Relax and chill. One of my favorite places to do that is Lake Las Vegas. Seriously feels like you are a world away from the hussle. Strolling along the lake; eating good food; going to the spa. 15 mins later - hotel and spa appointments were booked. Strolling happened. Good food happened. Resting happened. Chilling happened. The spa - well that is happening today. ☺️ So many lessons here: 1) I am so glad we did not force something 4 weeks ago. It didn’t feel right - so we did not proceed. 2) Taking a moment to slow down and reflect can create moments of clarity. 3) And, even short adventures for a weekend can make such a difference!! (Note: We were down one kiddo, but family time with the youngest happened too!)
