My Birthday Wish for 30
/The good part about getting older is you stop trying to prove anything to anyone, including yourself. All you are in the pursuit of is collecting experiences - beautiful, fragile little soap bubbles that you store in your heart, and every once in a while you pull one out and gaze at the delicate pictures it shows you. –Twinkle Khanna
Happy Birthday to Me!!!
2020 was truly an eye opening experience. The world LEGIT stopped; it didn’t matter who you were, how much money you had we were all equal. COVID sucked and technically still does, but you know what there was some good. Being force to stay home for almost a year taught me a lot and I think it prepared me for the next season of my life. I learned resiliency and on my worst days I learned that God was still in control and is plan was and always will be best.
I’ve challenged myself to love me more, to reach out when I need help, and be the person I want to be. I know that my health must become a priority if I want to live the life I am working so hard to obtain. I’m choosing to put myself first; for years I’ve allowed life, kids, family and friends to become the priority while neglecting myself.
My wish for 30 is simple – may I be all that my heart desires.
I personally have not been a huge fan of affirmations – it seemed silly at first. It’s like for the last 3 or so years I’ve heard people speaking of “manifest this” or “affirm that” and I had to be reminded that the bible already taught us that! Sometimes, we just need a little reality check.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21
Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. Phil 4:8
And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith. Matt 21:22
So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11
My Affirmations for 30
1. I am capable of anything that I put my mind to.
2. I am beautiful.
3. I am raising free thinkers and generational cruse breakers!
4. I choose me.
5. I stand up for myself and I stand by my decisions.
6. I am a strong black woman.
7. My past experiences don’t define me.
8. What is meant for me will not pass me by.
9. I am proud of how far I’ve come.
10. I love me.
In honor of my journey to loving myself more each day I took my own #dirtythirty photos. I must admit it was a little freeing to have to watch yourself and know how you feel most confident and accept the parts that you may not like as much.
