Today I am 38 years old.  Happy Birthday To Me! Hard to believe that just one year ago I shared my 37 things to do in my 37th year – 2020 sure did last forever and in the same moment went so quick.  As I have shared before, I am not a woman that hides behind her age, getting older has never bothered me and I am happy to say that even one year older I am excited to share my birthday goals with you all.  

Happy Birthday To Me!

Before we move to my list of 38 things, I think it is important to take some time to review the list from last year.  Goodness knows we must look at our 2020 goals with grace but thinking back, I do believe I was able to check off a lot of my 37 things!

Ready To Take on 38!!

I would be lying if I told you that I was happy every day.  I would be lying if I told you that I am where I thought I would be at 38 years old.  But the fact is, I made it to 38 and with the way my personal life and then the pandemic hit, I am thankful for how I am doing.  My 37th year wasn’t terrible but it certainly wasn’t easy either.  I had big hopes that 2020 would be the year I got things in line, my health in order and big things would finally land in place.  Well…hopefully, 2021 can be that year instead because I am ready.
