Well hello, friends! So today is my 26th birthday. I have to admit something a little embarrassing. When I realized it was almost my birthday, it took me more than a few seconds to remember how old I was going to be. Woopsie! :) I think after I graduated from college, birthdays became less and less important and therefore I began to forget how old I was. It's weird because, when you're little, age is so important. I remember telling people I was "almost 11 years old" or I was "13 and a half" - because I wanted so badly for people to know that I was closer to the next year than the previous one. Age meant respect and I was constantly looking forward to what was next.

Now, I'm not really that concerned about growing older. I don't look forward to it the way that I did when I was younger, but I also don't dread it. I'm excited for each year and what it has to bring :) My deepest desire is to be fully present with wherever I am. I want to speak life to others, to pour into their hearts, to enjoy the moments I've been given, and have a spirit of hope. So yeah... sometimes I get my head so stuck in today that I forget the bigger picture... and maybe even my age. :) But that's okay, right? Well, here's to being 26! Cheers!!
