Memo 058: May Flowers

I am literally taken aback at the speed at which these months fly by!

 
Especially when May sneaks up on me. It’s my birthday month and it has become a check in point with myself. The more I question where I am in life, the more that I realize that I am exactly where I am supposed to be.
 
Instead of beating myself up about what I haven’t done since last May, I’ll reflect here on what I have done:

 

  • Traveled to Barcelona, Rome, Paris and the Dominican Republic
  • Experienced the best and worst (yes both!) 5-month reflection period of my entire life
  • Started this awesome blog called The Werk! Place
  • Conducted my first media coverage at the MIM Rocks Fashion Show
  • Took a wine tour in Napa Valley
  • Served as a Bridesmaid in my BFFs wedding
  • Witnessed one of my favorite linesisters/friend get married
  • Hosted my first baby shower
  • Started a new job (same company) with an awesome schedule
  • Took ski lessons in Lake Tahoe
  • Went to my first Phoenix Sun’s Game
  • Created my 2nd Vision Board
  • Finally, closed the door to some feelings that should have left long ago.
  • More importantly, I’ve grown. 
 
Happy Birthday month to me and to all you other May babies out there…

    You just gave a simple dress some edge with the harness. Nice look!

    And, yes, making a list of what you have accomplished/done within the past year is definitely a smart move.
