Today I turn 58. Wow! That’s a number I never thought I’d see…🎂

And apparently I’m still willing to climb onto a kiddie ride clearly marked “FOR CHILDREN ONLY.” 😂

May we never stop playing, finding joy in the smallest moments and choosing to live fully alive.

This birthday feels particularly significant. Another trip around the sun. Another solar return. And my second Saturn return—a time that has me reflecting not only on the last 12 months, but on the bigger journey of my life.

So I started writing down the things I know to be true.

I thought there would be 58.

There were more. Ha!

A few that feel especially true today:

You are never too much. Love as big and as much as you want. Not everyone will meet you there.

All emotions can coexist. We can be grateful and grieving, joyful and sad, hopeful and uncertain—all at once.

Don’t be afraid to tell someone you love them. You may never have that chance again.

Most people crave connection, but very few commit to being truly seen.

Miracles are real. Believe in the possibility of what you cannot yet see.

Faith says, “I believe.” Trust says, “I can let go.”

At 58, I’m grateful for all of it. The love. The loss. The people who stayed. The people who left. Motherhood. Friendship. Heartbreak. Healing. Work that matters. The belly laughs. The wrong turns. The miracles. And every opportunity God has gifted me to experience.

I’m still living. Still loving. Still learning. Still becoming.

And still eternally 27. 😂

Oh, and one more that didn’t make the list:

Know when to follow the rules. Know when to break them. Never get so grown up that you forget how to play. Sometimes that’s where the adventure begins.

Exhibit A: photo #1. 😂

Be Well. Do Well. 🤍

Happy 15th Birthday to my youngest baby girl Cecilia “CiCi” Valenzuela Wolf.🎂🎈❤️🥳

One of my words for this year is Miracle, and that’s exactly what you are. Bringing a baby into the world is one of life’s greatest miracles, and you completed my dream of having 3️⃣ baby girls. Call me nuts!🤪 People used to ask, Really!?! You want to be pregnant again & another baby?!?!My answer was always the same: YES… because someone was missing. That someone was YOU!😘🥰

It is said the soul picks its mommy &
I’m so glad you picked me!🙏 You are my mini me. I see your soft, gentle heart and the fierce Leo ♌️ within you. As the third baby girl, just like me, I want you to always know: I see you. I get you.🫶

Stay kind. Stay fierce. Stay free. Be confident in who you are.

I love your calm presence, your hilarious side that keeps us laughing, and the joy you bring to your friends and everyone around you.

Happy 15th Birthday, sweet girl. I love you always. ❤️ by @witiwolf

Cecilia “CiCi” Valenzuela Wolf my 3rd baby girl! Wowza!

I can’t believe we’re still in June, and this was only a few weeks ago… but it’s never too late to celebrate a milestone. 💙

Just a few weeks ago, our third and final Wolf girl graduated from 8th grade. We’re getting there for my empty nester friends! lol.😂

An ending. A beginning. A milestone.

This class experienced more than most. After the Palisades fires displaced not only their school but their entire community at large, these 13 of 36 original students finished their last few years at a the Water Garden beautiful office building in Santa Monica. So it made this celebration even more meaningful to see these students return to their campus in Pacific Palisades to culminate this chapter together. A day they truly deserved.🙏🫶🎉🥳

Congratulations, CiCi! We can’t wait to watch you begin your next chapter at Marymount. ⚓️✨

Third girls rule. ❤️ Here’s to the next four years and all the adventures ahead. We love you.

Congratulations, Gabrielle Valenzuela Wolf! 🎓💙 our Gabby Girl! We are so incredibly proud of you! Four years truly flew by at Case Western Reserve University!

Years ago, during a school interview for Kindergarten (yes, you read that right 🙄)a headmaster asked:

“When your daughter goes into the real world, what do you want for her?”

Our answer was clear: a kind, loving, upstanding young woman who is confident in herself and capable of changing the world for the better.

Well, Gabby, that’s exactly what you are - an incredible human being that is sure to continue to impact the world!🌎

Your thoughtfulness, empathy, intellect, curiosity compassion, resilience, and beautiful heart shine so brightly. Walking alongside you as you learn, grow, and blossom into the remarkable young woman you are today has been one of the greatest joys of my life.

Stay curious and open. Keep shining. Keep learning. Keep growing.

We love you beyond words and couldn’t be prouder. Going back to Cali from Clevland for now.❤️ taken in Case Western Reserve University by @witiwolf

Happy 57th Birthday to ME! 🎂🎈THIS SO ME! This is also ME. ALL OF ME. My full expansive self! There are many versions of me — so many you’ll never be able to pigeonhole me. There’s no niche and no need for one. Amen to that!🙏✨

Today I celebrate showing up fully. No more playing small or giving too much to earn others approval. Here’s to speaking your truth.

I AM. I am ALL of it — proud of it — and, most importantly, I love me. All of me. Whole.🥰

I’m sure if you are like me you reminisce a bit about your birthdays growing up! I love traditions…My mom used to make me my favorite meal - homemade taquitos, guacamole 🥑 with sweet avocados from our tree, rice and beans and salad. Of course like any kid I could not wait for my yellow cake with chocolate butter frosting for every birthday. When she passed, my sister Petra carried the tradition. Those rituals mean everything — they build the memories that root me.🥳

This year I’m keeping it a bit more simple: focusing on those who I love so dearly and support me through it all. I mean you know me I will always bring the FUN, dance, adventure and connection to it all.💃🪩🔑

As I go into this next year here are-

10 Sage Lessons I’m carrying forward:
    1.    You can be this and that — multidimensionality is your super power.
    2.    Breathe to receive — each inhale a gift, each exhale a release.
    3.    Keep going to keep growing — learning is lifelong.
    4.    Freedom lives in your truth — speak it.
    5.    Courage over comfort — every breakthrough needs bravery.
    6.    Release people-pleasing — carry only what’s yours.
    7.    Be well. Do well. Alignment creates success.
    8.    Joy is a practice — laughter, play, movement.
    9.    Rest is fuel — stillness restores strength.
    10.    Love is the legacy — it ties it all together.

Grateful for every soul walking this path with me. You’ve been a gift and blessing.💝

So let’s celebrate together today - To our health, our truth, and our becoming.💁‍♀️

Remember this - Be well. Do well.😘

Happiest of Birthday’s to my beautiful talented smart funny fabulous 3rd baby girl Cecilia “CiCi” Valenzuela Wolf. And the youngest! 🎂🥳🎈😘

You asked me at dinner the other night my favorite memory of you…and honestly there are too many too count - you clearly chose me to be your mommy and have been my Day 1 buddy every day since birth. I can’t wait to continue walking and sometimes running by your side as you continue to evolve into the magical young lady you are!👑

They say you save the best for last… and it’s true. The point is I get you and love you for all of you exactly the way you are! Let’s see what Gabby and Lexi say to that! It’s a kindred youngest child connection! I mean we are much wiser as mother’s at this stage. I let WAY more go! It all works out! Learning and growing always! Ha!💖

Happy Birthday to my baby girl, CiCi! I love you beyond words to the sun the moon the stars and the entire universe.

You complete the trio and my heart. 💖 ✨

Petra Cathy Valenzuela Markoski
May 22, 1961 – February 12, 2025
“I am another you. You are another me.” – Rumi

One month ago today, my beautiful oldest sister, Petra, passed away suddenly, just days before Valentine’s Day. My family and I are shaken to our core. 💔

Petra was more than a sister—she was my best friend, my second mother, my cheerleader, and my voice of reason. She was the kind of person who made you listen, even when you didn’t want to. A matriarch in every sense, she led with honesty, strength, and an unmatched ability to help others, even when she had nothing left for herself.

Her heart was as big as her vision—one that could see across continents. She encouraged dreams, believed in possibility, and stood by your side to make it happen. She taught me that vulnerability is strength, that rest is just as important as resilience. A true heroine.

Petra was whip-smart, fiercely talented, and full of life. If you countered her opinion, you were in for a show. She had her own “Petraisms,” her own way of making an impact. True to her name, she was a rock—strong, steady, and unshakable.

I will miss our laughter, our matching outfits, our plans—because there was always something to plan. Most of all, I will miss our check-ins, the space she gave me to be fully myself. Petra, you were one of the great loves of my life. Your energy, your honesty, your smile—they are irreplaceable.

We will always be the Valenzuela Girls. Three sisters, forever and always. I am listening, and I promise to rest.

Spirit to Spirit. Heart to Heart. Sisters Forever. Together and Apart.

Petra’s services will take place at The Arboretum in Arcadia, CA, on Saturday, March 22 at 3:30 PM.

Cecilia Valenzuela Wolf
Happy Happy 11th Birthday CiCi!👑🥳
August 3, 2011

Oh Cecilia! You’re breaking my heart, you’re breaking my confidence baby!

No we did not name CiCi after this famous song I just always wanted a knick name growing up, but I also I have a song…so we chose longer sophisticated names that could be shortened so when they became professionals (lol 💛) people would take them more seriously. How cute is the name CiCi! Adorbs! And fits her like glove!🧤

Happiest of Birthday’s to you CiCi! Oh CiCi my beautiful 3rd baby girl! You completed my dream of 3 healthy beautiful children and our family of 5! Three is A LOT but who doesn’t like a full house! My little Leo the Lion! A beautiful soul, loyal and loving, Courageous and kind friend to all! And yes another soccer player in the house and a defender - since she was a toddler she didn’t shy away from being physical and taking someone out. No surprise she is an outspoken (it’s a theme in this house) leader beautiful lady.

I love you so much! Thanks for being my playmate, helper and keeping me in check if I fall out of line.

As some of you know and if you don’t you should by now I am the youngest of 3 girls! As I watch CiCi grow older I continued to be reminded of the positives of being the youngest which are obvious but also the challenge around finding your voice and having to be 10 times stronger to have your voice heard! I will always support you to find your voice both inner and outer voice!

Here’s to another amazing year celebrating this amazing life we are blessed to live!🎉🥳🛼🙏🥰🙏🥰🛼🥳🎉 by @witiwolf
