28 Lessons, 28th birthday.

I can't believe I'm turning 28 this weekend! My Birthday couldn't have come at a better time! As of today I'm more me, than I've ever been!

Hey Moma!

Ma, Your love inspires me, you live your life with a love that is contagious. Whether its nurturing love, tough love, friendly love or romantic love, you have it all and you show it daily. I want you to know that when the time comes, Im going to be there for you just like all of these years you've been here for me. I will be there to support you, talk with you, laugh with you, cry with you and love you for all of my life. I hope you know that you are truly my best friend. You are the person I talk to about EVERYTHING, whether its good or bad. I'm honestly so thankful for the relationship we share because I've had countless screw ups and you've literally been there every step of the way. Seriously, THANK YOU for being the person I can count on at all times, at any time of the day or even at night. No matter if its just to talk. We have the best conversations, best laughs, best cries and the best times together. No matter if we are disagreeing or agreeing. I cherish every moment I'm blessed to spend with you. I hope you know that Ive looked up to you my whole life. You are strong, independent, confident, loving, supportive and nurturing. Everything I strive to be as a woman and everything I want to be for Trey. I hope you know that I know sometimes I can be a pain, & Im sorry. Im sorry for yelling at you, arguing with you, not listening to you and also making poor decisions sometimes. BUT Thank you for loving me anyways. Thank you for helping me stand back up, teaching me right from wrong, and pushing me to be the very best version of me. I don't tell you enough, that I appreciate your selfless love, your dedication to me. I love you, I mean really love you to the depths of my soul. I am you. -Much More

"Two things you should never let anyone else do for you... Think & Feel"

 As I grow older, I realize the significance of life, and how quickly it passes by. In honor of turning the big 2-8, Im sharing 28 lessons Ive learned throughout the year! Enjoy!

1. Forgiveness requires a soft heart

2. Follow your passions, Create your own timeline / community /  family / wealth / Rules / rituals. Do for you. 

3. Don't let anyone make you feel bad for loving youself a little more.

4. You get what you put into this world. If you put out love, you'll get it full-circle.

5. Spread Love - Don't doubt the love you're blessed to give or receive.

6. Fear says.. Force Everything, Rush everything, alter everything.. Faith says.. accept everything and grow. 

7. Spend a lot of time with your parents: they're getting older.. just like us

8. Surround yourself with people who inspire you. You are a product of who you hangout with - maybe time to start shrinking your circle.

9. Read More books - study your passions, and get lost in those teachings. Focus on the work.

10. Eat healthy, and workout. The older we get, the more important it is to focus on a clean lifestyle. Your body will appreciate it.

11. Stop comparing your beginning to someone's middle!

12.  We evolve as fast as we're open to new mindsets.

13. You have to be willing to be the only one that believes in your dreams if need be, the attention and praise of others will come and go but you are on duty 24/7. Everyone won't see the vision. What's cool about that is their expectations become low and if you go above and beyond, you've not only proven who you are to them but to who matters most -  yourself. 

14. The power of Patience, The power of persistence. 

15. Meditate: it does plentiful for the mind/body. Check out Shelah Marie "Meditation Mix Tape".

16. Set goals: They will make you work harder.

17. Save Money: If 27 taught me anything, its that my bank account needs serious help. My goal for 28? SAVE MORE! Emergency funds are important!

18. Smile at strangers, you never know who needs it.

19. People come into your life to help you learn and grow, there is no guarantee of how long they'll stay. Enjoy them while you have them. 

20. Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you, emotional to intellectual intelligence.

21. Make friends of all ages, and ask for advice.

22. Get out your comfort zone.

23. Strive to be a better version of yourself everyday.

24. Stop worrying. Ive done my share this past year, and it only intensifies my anxiety. Relax, everything will workout how its supposed to.

25. If you have nobody, you still have GOD and yourself.  GOD is so worthy to be praised. Pray More!

26. Be Transparent. 

27. Let go of the past, start the process now. - You can't keep choosing the same thing expecting a different outcome. 

28. Be supportive of people, Its Contagious!

I hope everyone has a beautiful weekend! Manifesting a Miracle.  I have a feeling its about to be an amazing April! Fear will make you settle. Faith will take you further than you deserve to go. 

Space & Pace. -B
