I am 33 years old today and I am the happiest and most content with my life that I’ve been in years. They say your thirties are the best times of your life. And I have to agree because I’m starting to come into my own. The last three years have been very transformational for me. It’s been filled with ups and downs but I have say it’s been worthwhile. For the past year, I’ve really been working on looking inword and focusing on my personal goals. I’m happy with the journey that God continues to take me on. 

My advice to myself for the year 33 is to “shine bright, breath a little, smile often, take risks, be bold, celebrate successes, give back, and ultimately be you, and lastly find love and happiness.”
