Subject: First Day of May
_____________________________________________________________________________________
I am literally taken aback at the speed at which these months fly by!
Especially when May sneaks up on me. It's my birthday month and it has become a check in point with myself. The more I question where I am in life, the more that I realize that I am exactly where I am supposed to be.
Instead of beating myself up about what I haven't done since last May, I'll reflect here on what I have done:
- Traveled to Barcelona, Rome, Paris and the Dominican Republic
- Experienced the best and worst (yes both!) 5-month reflection period of my entire life
- Started this awesome blog called The Werk! Place
- Conducted my first media coverage at the MIM Rocks Fashion Show
- Took a wine tour in Napa Valley
- Served as a Bridesmaid in my BFFs wedding
- Witnessed one of my favorite linesisters/friend get married
- Hosted my first baby shower
- Started a new job (same company) with an awesome schedule
- Took ski lessons in Lake Tahoe
- Went to my first Phoenix Sun's Game
- Created my 2nd Vision Board
- Finally, closed the door to some feelings that should have left long ago.
- More importantly, I've grown.
Happy Birthday month to me and to all you other May babies out there...
