Today I celebrate my 36th birthday and the one year anniversary of Together Unfolding! I am so happy to have reached this milestone with my website. Together Unfolding has helped me grow in unexpected ways. I'm proud of it and look forward to keeping it going. I made a commitment to post with zero expectations and with the primary intention to inspire one person. Just one. And from there may the ripple effect take place. I'm proud to say, I truly believe I have done that and will joyfully continue this work of sharing what I am learning along the way.
As for my birthday, I am celebrating in a different way. It hit me on, March 31st. I realized how badly I needed and wanted to interrupt my routine. So I made my birth month, a month to honor myself by creating a self-cleanse. I have cut out alcohol, social media, and mindless spending for the whole month of April. The reaction I received from folks has been funny. I've heard, "what, that doesn't sound like a celebration..." and you know it really doesn't, I can see that. However, in taking the time to tune in and truly listen, this is what my inner self is calling for. I am so excited about celebrating 'me' in this way. I am practicing my willpower, cleansing my body, clearing my mind, and taking a break from unfulfilling habits. I'm changing things up and it feels so good. It's giving me the space to get reacquainted with myself again and get back into alignment.
While I'm technically on a social media cleanse, I couldn't go today without thanking you for taking the time to wish me a happy birthday. I truly appreciate the messages. I personally am not the best at this and have not always been consistent in calling my friends and family on their birthdays. This is why I appreciate the gesture so much.
Happy birthday to the Aries out there and to those I share a birthday with today. My wish for us all is to continue to grow so that we can create and most importantly to find the time to get in touch with the unique and loving soul that lives within us.
