A new year

For me, birthdays represent an opportunity to set a new course - not just for the year ahead, but for the path my life will take.

I'm ready to break free of my insecurities and see myself as a beautiful, passionate and powerful woman. Someone who is not dependent on the approval of others, who trusts her decisions and the contribution that she makes.

I want to feel healthy, vibrant and alive. I am going to nurture my soul, unleash my passions and celebrate my uniqueness.

I will honor the wisdom I have gained through years of diligent effort. Yet, I will still seek to learn and grow through new experiences, allowing me to bring continually deeper value to the world around me.

This is my year of transformation. A year to discover what brings me joy, to learn to love myself and to delight in just being me.

I do not know where this path may lead, but I do know that I am ready for the journey and will find my way to what is right for me.

I will let my light shine and be the radiant, confident woman I was always meant to be.

MIA

Pleading to be seen and acknowledged. Aching for evidence of significance. Wrapped in a cloak of invisibility and irrelevance. An aged thorn afloat in a sea of youth and beauty. An instrument of function not fantasy. An MIA...Missing In Age.

A little something sweet
