Today is my 28th birthday. This last week has
been a reminder about how lucky I am. I
have a wonderful, supportive husband, and amazing friends and family. I love our apartment and neighborhood in
Brooklyn. I have been lucky to have
great experiences with my career so far.
I have to say – life is good! I’m
not sure if it’s the impending 30th birthday, but the past few
months have seemed like a good time to be taking stock of where I’m at and
making changes for where I want to be.
One thing that’s really been on my mind is simplifying. I guess I feel in this age of information
there is a surplus of well, everything – it can be overwhelming! The constant steam of information can be
daunting if not filtered. My inbox and google
reader need a massive clean out. This
need to simplify is affecting not only the digital information I’m receiving,
but also how I feel about the physical stuff in my life. I have been feeling the need to get rid of
things unless I need, use, and love them.
I’m planning on doing a thorough clean out in an effort to get back to
some of the basic things I enjoy and love.
I’m also preparing to make some big changes this year. You know that saying if your dreams don’t
scare you, they’re not big enough? Well,
this year I’m dreaming big – and going for it.
I’m a planner; so I’ll admit taking risks freaks me out a bit! But, that being said, I never want to look
back and wish I had tried something but was afraid I would fail. I really believe it’s important to push
yourself to try new things and learn to feel fulfilled. I also believe that where you spend your
energies is where you will see success.
So while I can’t tell you all about my plans right now, I promise I will
fill you in as things move forward.
Well, I’ve rambled on a bit – and for those of you who
follow along on my blog you’ll know I’m not usually one for lengthy posts. I feel ready for some change and am looking
forward to this next year. Thank you for
listening to my thoughts!
happy birthday, ss... love you and so excited about your big changes!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Becca! And cheers to big changes! Can't wait to hear all about them. All the best X
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful year ahead. I think when we prepare for changes, big and small - it is helpful to write them down.
ReplyDeleteI often think, just a book or lipstick on a mirror to serve as a reminder and a push.
Happy to listen to your thoughts and to witness your rambling changes.

I love that birthdays offer a moment for reflection. Our world is changing so fast, both technologically and physically, we need to make sure the ground under us, what we believe in, is firm so we can go forward and follow our dreams. Love you!
