32 Reflections for 32 Years. 🪷

Today I turn 32…

(I wrote this yesterday, don’t worry.)

I wanted to sit down and write some reminders to myself. Below are a few pithy maxims — gentle reminders for myself to move forward with. These have gotten me through the good, the bad, and the impossible over the years.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I’ve enjoyed living with them.
