47 trips around the sun 🌞

Feeling so very grateful and privileged to share this day with my baby girls’s graduation, surrounded by family and friends. What a day!

In this season of endings and new beginnings, I can’t help but acknowledge that, as the granddaughter of 2 women who lived well into their 90’s, I may only be at the halfway mark…if I get to be so lucky 🤞🏼
And the thought of that possibility is so incredibly freeing. We all get the chance to choose our own adventure and flip the script on this thing called life. I don’t know what lies ahead every corner but I do know a few things-

I continue to be:
• happiest by the sea
• enthralled by my kids
• intentional in my friendships
• tilting my head in 98% of photos
• curious & inquisitive (which is NOT the same as argumentative, per childhood labels-stay curious kids!)

I’m no longer:
• ignoring my instincts
• depriving myself of rest
• chasing what is not meant for me

I’m working on:
• my eldest daughter tendencies
• stepping out of old patterns
• figuring out how to live closer to the sea

Cheers to the next chapter ✌🏼
