It's not every day that one turns 30 on the 30th!
I'm thrilled and excitedly anticipating turning 30 and as much as the 20's has been a fun ride, I know in my heart -- I can just feel it -- that my 30's is going to offer me many more sweet and cherished memories that will shape not only my future but those around me, my loved ones, my family.
The past 29 years has definitely been a roller-coaster of fascinating and joyous and also melancholy memories.
But I don't regret one. single. thing.
As cliché as it sounds, it's just so true. Every thing, every person, every experience I have encountered in my life - good and bad - has made me the woman that I am today.
Some may think you're only turning 30; the fun has yet to begin! But I have to say I'm pretty darn proud of where I am today and how much I have already accomplished at this tender age.
When I was a teenager, I always said to myself that I would have had a successful career, be married, have children, own a home, seen the Eiffel Tower before my 30's -- check, check, check, check, check.
The things I really wanted the most, I've already been blessed with and for that I am so grateful.
10 years ago I would never have known I would be where I am today -- be as happy and content as I am.
So I may not have the traveled all over the world yet, or become fluent in more than 3 languages or learned to master some form of ballroom dance but hey, I've got many more years to come and I know that my 30's will offer me the opportunities I desire, even some that will come unexpectedly. Because isn't that always the case?
So bring it 30's! I'm so totally ready for you. Champagne in hand! Cheers!
