I have come to a beautiful stage in my healing journey and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate it than to share it with you. This month has been full of positive celebrations that have not ceased to end. Last week I entered into a new decade turning 40 years old. This yearly transition has brought with it the most amazing discoveries about myself… who I was, who I am and who I am becoming.
As I enter into a new decade full of possibility and excitement, I leave behind the most transformative decade of my life, thus far. My 30’s were full of self healing, learning to release old beliefs that created limits to what I felt I was capable of, or not. I held on to false beliefs that made me feel undesirable, unsuccessful and unworthy which continued to trigger old patterns that were not healthy and kept me in a perpetual cycle of survival.
My life has not been easy. I have had trauma and situations that I would not wish upon anyone, however they were necessary. I have learned to take my pain, fears and sadness and transform them into understanding, love and compassion. This is what I celebrate today… how far I have come. Can I say I am healed? No, that may never happen. Heck, I was triggered today. However I continue to challenge myself to face the depths of my fears and triggers because that’s where I keep finding the stronger version of myself. That strength eventually turns into peace and acceptance which in turn makes me thrive.
This momentous birthday has brought me much retrospect of who I am now. Right now, at 40 years old I have never been happier, healthier and more at peace with who I am and I am truly thriving in my own life. I am surrounded by love in every corner of my life. I am blessed by all measures because I chose me. I chose to be me unapologetically, to love myself and accept the amazing person I always was. I lead my life with joy and love which amplifies and draws to me people, experiences and situations that I used to only thought possible in dreams.
All of the experiences and healing work of my past has now created the foundation to allow this next decade (and beyond) to become another version of myself that is happier, healthier, wiser and more courageous than ever before. This is the time I create the platform to inspire others to heal and find THEIR truths to thrive.
