HANDCRAFTED: 41

 

Gravity & wrinkles are fine with me. They’re a small price to pay for the new wisdom inside my head and heart.” -Drew Barrymore

I turned 41 this Monday! I have spent so many years setting Luke up for failure on my birthday without even realizing it. He didn’t send me flowers, he didn’t make me feel important... He didn’t this, he didn’t that. I had no idea how much of a victim I was making myself! My birthdays have often been about setting big expectations (knowingly or not) and then having them unmet and feeling crushed. This year, I’m going to do it differently. I am going to count my blessings & celebrate those!!

1. I have a wonderfully supportive husband that believes in me, and lit the fire for me to believe in myself.

2. I have a business that I share with my husband, that fulfills me. Even stepping inside the greenhouse makes me feel alive. Our business is a blank slate. Whatever Luke & I choose to work on together, we can create. Our future is wide open with dreams & possibilities.

3. I have 4 amazing kids. They are each unique and wonderful in their own way who bring me joy every day.

4. I have dear friends that support me in any direction I take. They make my life even more rich and full of joy

5. I have family that put everything aside to help me when I need it.

6. I have all of the tools I need to create the dreams that I want.

7. I have a greenhouse to go to whenever I want.

8. I have a warm home.

9. I have projects that keep me focused.

10. I get to live every day of my life according to my priorities.

11. I have my health.

I am so grateful for all that I am blessed with and all of the possibilities that are in front of me!! Thank you for reading!!

I hope you have an incredible week!!
