I very distinctly remember crying on my 13th birthday. While so many of my peers eagerly anticipated the excitement of those teenage years and the freedom of their 20s, I feared the loss of what could only be described as the most magical existence & childhood imaginable: the safety & security of my amazing family, sun kissed summers on the beach by our house & praying for snow days all winter long so that my brother and I could build igloos in our backyard for hours before being called inside for hot chocolate. One of those too good to be true realities. That WAS my reality and I knew I was lucky. I knew other kids weren't so fortunate and I knew adulthood wouldn't be so simple...even at 13, I wanted to cling to the life I realized was an anomaly in a big world of potentially less appealing possibilities. Of course, I was right. Surely, now just a few days after my 30th birthday, I know I was right. Adulthood is so much more complicated...SO much harder. I've faced challenges I never expected, heartbreak and loss...moments my little 13-year-old heart couldn't have imagined. BUT the beauty of reflection is that I can open my heart to that moment on January 1st, 2000 and say I've lived my best life since. Seventeen years of mistakes, surprises, and less than perfect moments later, yet I'm even more blessed than I was then. The love I have for the people in my life is deeper, richer and so much more meaningful. The ferocity with which I desire to experience life and see the world is bolder. The gratitude I have for my blessings is broader. ❤️ I wish everyone a 2017 filled with love, kindness & the courage to be his/her best self! May we all have the opportunity to reflect this time next year and say, "yes" we lived our best lives perfectly imperfectly in 2017 Xo
