January 19th, I am 23 !! yipeeee

Reminiscing on the magic of my life, my relationships, and the past 23 years of memories.

Jessie and I are so blessed to be living a healthy and happy life. There are always ups and downs, but what are the beautiful moments with out the tougher ones?

I am always thinking of how blessed I am to be surrounded by such wonderful people who inspire me everyday to pursue my dreams, and flourish in all the avenues of my life.

23 Blooms:

1. Smiles are contagious, smile often
2. Forgive; not just those who hurt you, but yourself.
3. SAVE & buy that bag you’ve always wanted. You deserve it.
4. Everything happens for a reason, trust the process.
5. Practice patience. There isn’t enough in today’s world.
6. Be slow to speak and eager to listen; you will grow immensely through the lessons and advice from others.
7. Find your signature perfume; own it.
8. always instill hope; we thrive on it.
9. Build others up. In doing so, you yourself will rise far beyond you ever thought you could.
10. Don’t hold grudges; it ends up only hurting you in the long run
11. FACE MASKS are an absolute must once a week
12. Podcast’s can change your life ( I suggest Oprah Winfrey’s “What I know for sure”)
13. Lemon cucumber water fixes pretty much everything (clear face, happy insides:)
14. At least three times a day STOP & take a deep breath in and exhale *literally sometimes we forget to really breath during the day, its a real thing guys.
15. Buy something you can take of. For me its plants. It reminds me to take care of myself ❤
16. Hate is a strong word. Try and avoid it
17. Time is precious. Savor moments.
18. Choose joy
19. Be thankful, for the good and the bad.
20. Say your prayers. He’s listening.
21. You need 8 hugs a day. 8!!!! so give em out<3
22. Write letters. They are so much lovelier to open than a text.
23. BE KIND. everyone is going through something we don’t know about. BE KIND.

To Jessie, happy 23rd my LITERAL soul sister. I am so thankful God gave me you. Lets spread light and bring kindness into the world. Here’s to all twenty three has in store. Also, to all the readers, I do hope you take away at least one of these blooms as you carry on throughout your day today. … hugs.
