My 27th Birthday!

On October 8th, yesterday, I celebrated my 27th birthday! One of my most favorite things to do is celebrate birthdays! Another year, a blessing, an opportunity to grow and experience all that Life has to offer! Another chance to over come challenges and thrive in success. Another year that wasn't promised! I thought to myself, SELF, "use this day to reflect on your growth into this woman you've become; get on your knees and say thank you for this day of celebration; hug your friends and walk the streets with a big smile on your face because today is YOUR day girl! (Still talking to SELF) Use this day to recognize all the characteristics that make you, you and transition out of all of the characteristics that slow you down. " hmmmmmmmm*reflecting*hmmmmmmm *reflecting a little longer*

3 min later

So I decided not to do that. Instead, I made the decision to simply celebrate the most stylish person I know. MYSELF!!!! hehehehehehe

I partied with some of my most special friends, shopped, visited my sister, hugged, kissed, laughed, and got oh so fly!

but during those 3 min of reflection

I remember growing up in Little Rock and I was always insecure and self conscious! It so nice for me to look back because it was tough! Kids were mean and life wasn't always easy to understand. Now, I look at myself and my life and I'm quite proud and quite excited about the possibilities! Day by day I take it one step at a time. I get scared, nervous, unsure, but through it all you gotta do what you gotta do! I'm strong and I only get stronger. It was a celebration ya'll and I did it in STYLE! For all you FABULOSOS who celebrated with me, THANK YOU. God did me so good when he put you in my life.
