Twenty five seems like a big number, and to be honest that’s pretty intimidating. But if this coming year is anything like 24, I’m excited for the challenge! This birthday is a chance to celebrate all the complicated and silly and wonderful things that life has thrown at me in the past quarter century. It’s a chance to reflect how much I’ve grown since this day last year. A chance to face the challenges, big and small, that certainly await me in the year to come.
Manifesting these boots were made for WALKIN energy all February and hoping u do the same!!!
U know those days that are so beautiful ur just like laughing in disbelief?? Isn’t that the best??
