I turned 35 earlier this year. It’s wild how quickly the first five years fly by once you hit 30. The last 8 years since I began this truth-seeking journey has been nothing short of transformative. I had a blast celebrating my 35th - starting with a spa day, then a night out dancing until the late AM, which made me feel like I was back in my 20s! 💗

Here’s what I’d tell my 27-year-old self if I could do it all again. And yes, I’m incredibly blessed to have walked this path:
• Jesus is real. Choose Him sooner. (He’s the best thing that will ever happen to you. He’ll make your path straight, with the occasional side quest for personal growth.)
• Honour your parents. Help them as much as you can, and travel with them often.
• Enjoy every version of yourself- change is inevitable.
• Write to God consistently. Ask questions. Meditate.
• For every high, there’s an equal low. There is always light at the end of the tunnel- ride it out.
• Experience more. It adds meaning to life.
• Trust your instincts - always.
• Keep one foot in chaos and one foot in order.
• Buy the one-way ticket. Return when you’re ready.
• Grow into a ‘no fear’ mindset.
• It will make sense after you’ve done it, so just do it.

There’s much more I’d share, but this is a start.
