its my birthday and im choosing Glam

Birthdays can either be really fun or isolating and lonely. Depending the type of person you are, what you may be going through in life, and simply just how you feel about turning another year older.

I have always enjoyed celebrating my birthday. For me, it’s such a special time to get together with family and friends and take a little bit of the spotlight to shine on me. It’s the one day where everyone that cares reaches out to wish you a happy birthday. Nowadays with social media and Facebook it makes remembering birthdays easy. I’m an old school gal and I love the birthday calls. The people who pick up the phone to either see my face or hear my voice to wish me a special happy birthday. That’s true human connection right there.

This year I decided to throw a big birthday party for my 35th birthday. The last 5 years I was living In California and celebrated in a more modest way. Since this was my first year back with all my family and friends I wanted to go big. This year is an important one for me and one that I am bringing in as much love and positivity into my world. I thought I would be in a different place in my life at this point, but I really don’t regret how and why I came to be where I am today. I’m grateful for every experience, every journey, and every life lesson that has brought me here.

it’s easy to look at life and be upset about all the things you don’t have. But what takes great work is to look at your life and find gratitude for all the wonderful things you have. Keeping a gratitude journal or taking time each morning or evening to jot down a couple things you are grateful for will help you shift this perspective. It’s especially easy to see the bad when things get rough, and that’s it’s why’s it even more important to find your peace and gratitude by grounding yourself to the earth,
