I’ll be 38 in less than an hour (as the crow flies). Rather than get reflective and nostalgic on this birthday eve, I choose to look forward. I can honestly say that this year has been the best one of my life – already. It’s taken these 37 years to figure out who I am and who I want to be. To figure out what I want to do with my life and the type of person I want to share it with. To figure out what I will settle for and what is too important to sacrifice. I’ve grown each year, but more importantly, I’ve learned from my mistakes to make my life richer, more purposeful, and more rewarding. I am still learning – everyday. I hope the day I stop learning is the day I die. I hope to build a loving legacy in my next 38 years and far beyond that. I hope to make a difference however I can by helping whoever I can. I hope….and I will.

Here’s to 38, dear readers. I hope you’ll join me in knocking it out of the park. Here we gooooooo!

Love yourself.
Find peace inside.
Share happiness.
