HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, FEELING AMAZING...

December 8th I turned 38 and everyone always asks, do you feel any different? My answer is always no…but this year I say YES and not that I feel OLDER…but that I feel BETTER! It is hard to believe that THIS is 38! I used to cringe and think how OLD is 38…and now I am here! HAHA!

No but seriously, I believe age is just a number and when people get older they start putting limits on themselves and immediately say, “I can’t, I am too old.” It is a way out for them, an excuse to not start or continue to do something but I want to be different with my age. I want to explore new things, keep moving and grooving to my daily workouts, and do my best with nutrition. Although, on my birthday, it wasn’t the greatest. LOL Olive Garden was good and so was the dessert!! #noshameinmygame!!

So this year my focus will be my nutrition. I still have some weight I want to get rid of, and I am focusing on that and improving my fitness. I want to be there for Shawn and be the best parent I can be to him. I want to focus on being a great wife for Tony and a good friend to my siblings and close friends. Overall, I want to improve emotionally and how much I can give my peeps!

I want to be a better writer, coach, and someone who can help others see their true potential. I am not perfect, and I always try to share my struggles, but as my next year unfolds, I just want to improve in all areas of my life.

I started a new job last week and I love the location, office setting, and what I will be doing, plus my boss is super nice, laid back, and fantastic with computers! It will be a great place to work and it was the right career move on my part. I am so blessed to have the faith I do and I owe it all to my parents. They brought me up in church and on my birthday I took Shawn to church. We went to Rock Branch Independent Church and everyone was so friendly and in our Sunday school lesson they talked about using the word HATE and how it is such a strong word, how we need to love and help our brothers and sisters, and show how Christians should be through our actions. It was something I needed to hear for sure. I hope Shawn thrives at this church, I hope he has the kind of faith I do now because of my upbringing.

I want nothing more than for him to feel secure in his life and to always lean on God when in doubt…because I feel that is how I got where I am today…through my faith and love for God.

So here is 38…and I got to say…I feel amazing!!! Making this year another great one!!
