Soooo.....my birthday is literally 3 months away and I will be turning the BIG 4-6. I will no longer be in my early 40's but I will now be pushing 50. Now, I am nowhere wise beyond my years but I have learned a lot on this journey called life. Here are 45 things I have learned along the way.
1. Always put yourself first. Self-Care is the best care.
2. If you don't love yourself, you will not be able to love anyone else.
3. Always trust your instinct, It will not steer you wrong.
4. All you really need is 1 good friend that will have your back no matter what.

29. I have learned more about myself in the past 10 years than I ever have since birth.
30. Try to see the positive in all situations. It may not always be there, but at least you tried.
31. Always be kind. You never know what people are going through.
32. It's okay to act like a kid every once in a while.

watching movies on Netflix. There will also be snacks (Don't judge me).
34. Everyone is different, but yet the same.
35. Try new things. Step out of your comfort zone every once in a while.
36. Embrace your flaws.
37. I love people who can make anything grow. I wish I had a green thumb, but I just killed
a cactus 3 days in....so yeah.

41. Unplug from social media at least twice a week. You will be surprise at how much you
you get done.

43. Everyone has their own religion and beliefs. I won't force my beliefs on you and I will
appreciated it if your don't impose yours on me. Got it...Good.
44. Laugh hard, long and often.
45. Your life is 100% your responsibility. Don't ever give that responsibility to anyone else.
