In case tomorrow never comes. Please know my life is feeling good at forty-one!

It feels different than I expected. I will forever be an old soul with a young heart~ I didn’t truly know that’s how it would be.. I feel corrected.

I feel blessed as I grow older.. for growing older means becoming wiser. I believe my life experiences have continued to make me nicer!

I feel accomplished for raising four beautiful children. I find myself living in this astonishing world both similar and different (with our kiddos out of the house) yet still unison!

I am excited for the growth in my marriage. While still remembering our sweet babies, as if they were “babies in a baby carriage.”

For the first time ever, I marked my husband and I out at our business and took two days to celebrate. I have found that I must set expectations and choose to navigate!

We finally are at a stage that we can afford to take some personal time. We are working on us and doing our best to feel the sunshine.

We are proud to work hard and yet know there is a need for balance. As our therapist says, it’s okay to have needs while facing challenge.

This year we stayed the night at our Midnight Tropical Soirée/Airbnb. It felt fun to experience what our guest do and to simply feel free.

Free from so many worries, busyness and rush. Free to do what we wanted and not make a big fuss.

Before our night across the valley.. we went antiquing and had a wonderful dinner at a new-to-us place. We did our best to unplug, relax and be face-to-face.

I feel so grounded and at the same time a bit lost! Trying to focus on my own needs for the first time, be happy and know it’s worth all the battles I’ve fought.

I feel a big tug to continue to share and at the same time to step back and find more time for self-care.

I am doing my best to be gentle with myself. Knowing I am the girl that’s not always been kind to herself.

I am a highly sensitive person and definitely an empath. That’s just how I am wired and I don’t want to have to apologize for that.

It has proven to be challenging and a bit paralyzing too. My biggest strength is encouraging others and helping them to believe in new!

I feel what others feel and wish their wishes to begin. I am remembering I can’t want it more than they want it for them!

I will continue to love all the life in this world and see all the good. I will always know where I came from, where I am headed and what could.

I am a free spirited wanderlust. I believe figuring out how to live our best lives is a must!

Stay Rosy, Amber
