I seriously feel like it was just my 21st Birthday last year and here we are…turning 30 this weekend! Looking back at the last decade I truly have so much I am so incredibly grateful for. I had some big life moments in the last decade that have changed who I am- and also helped me learn so many amazing things about life and so many lessons.
First and foremost I had my son almost two years ago and if there’s anything that can change your life it’s for sure having a child. He is truly my entire world and I never understood what people meant by that until I had my son. He has brought so much joy to our family. I also married my husband, Mark almost 5 years ago and would not be where I am today without him. He has helped grow my business and has been my biggest fan + supporter along the way. I don’t think he has ever missed “liking” any of my Instagram posts haha.
I also graduated from Providence College and started my career in Health Care but ultimately found my passion when I started blogging in 2018. I have learned so much over the last 10 years. I have lost many friends but also gained so many new friends. I have also learned so many other things that I wanted to share with you guys. I have been jotting things down as they came to mind the last few weeks and compiled a list that I will share below <3
- Hard work and consistency pay off.
- It’s ok to let go of friendships. People come and go that’s life.
- 100’s of “friends” are lonelier than a few good friends.
- Family is everything. Spend all the time you can with loved ones.
- Always forgive. It shows your strength.
- Be kind. You don’t know what someone else is going through at that moment even if they don’t show it.
- It’s ok to cry but remember tomorrow is a new day.
- Set Goals.
- Believe in yourself.
- Be confident.
- Not talking about something won’t solve your problems.
- I’m a good mom. We all parent differently.
- You are strong then you ever could have imagined.
- Don’t stress over a mess.
- Smile at someone today. It could brightening their day.
- Drink more water. It’s literally the cure all haha
- Life is too short to not choose happiness.
- The next 10 years are going to fly by like the last 10. Celebrate each day.
- Always appreciate the ones who check in on you.
- Never ruin a good day by thinking about a bad yesterday.
- Move your body everyday.
- Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. We all walk down different paths in life.
- Try not to be so quick to judge. We all have our own stories.
- Eat good food. Fad diets are NEVER worth it.
- Hug your loved ones.
- Never take your health for granted.
- Take a vacation. The memories will last a lifetime.
- Surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Laughter is the best medicine.
- Good things take time be patient (still working on this one LOL)
