Thank You 31, Hello Confident Age OF 32.

Happy Birthday To ME, Today I turn 32 years old!!!! It feels like it was just yesterday I turned 16 years old celebrating my birthday at BBQs in the city with all of my friends, Time Flies! Before I write about what I wish for being the beautiful age of 32, I have to say THANK YOU to 31. The Journey, this past year has truly been one of the best years of my life. 

Being 31 years old was truly an amazing and remarkable age for me, not only did I become a mother to a beautiful baby boy but this was also the age where I allowed myself to grow, to learn and not be afraid to do so and also did some self improvement. I knew that becoming a mother, I had to change certain things in my life and I had to improve myself as well as those changes so I can be the best mother that I can be for MJ. It wasn’t an easy road but it was absolutely worth it. I wouldn’t change anything because everything that was meant to happen, happened. It was all in God’s plan and Iam thankful for every lesson learned and for things that I used to be blind to allowing me to really see things for what it was. 

I blossomed into a beautiful flower, yes I’ve always blossomed and wore my crown very well but with this age it was just different and it felt better. In life there will be many stages that you go through  but you can’t allow those stages to break you or define who you are. I learned that the most this year and realized that no matter how much I wanted things to change or things to be, GOD WAS IN CONTROL. I learned to let things be and what is meant to be, it will always be. 

For my confident age of 32, I just pray for continued success, happiness, love and wealth. This year is about setting goals and accomplishing them all. This year is about traveling more, experiencing more, saying more YES and Less NO, having more faith, growing more, loving myself more while being truly happy within myself and just being the BEST mother, daughter,wifey,sister and friend that I can be. Iam going to make 32 be better than 31, Iam claiming it. I won't let anything or anyone disturb my growth and glow, I worked to hard as well as pray day and night to be where I am now in life. I just want to keep on getting better and richer( richer with life,family,love and happiness). 

Iam truly blessed and grateful for it all, I just want the best for myself and I know with prayer and hard work, it will happen. 32, let's kick ass and smile through it all. There will be a few bumps that will come but we will overcome everything that comes our way. Let's make this a magical year and have the time of our lives.

                          

                          A Confident Love from me to you.
