Happy Personal New Year to Me!!! lol

Also known as my birthday!! I view a birthday as someone's personal new year, since it is your official year mark in your life, right? I've turned the ripe age of 36 today and I feel great. I'm in my prime and feeling all the possibilities that life has to offer. I can say that I've learned a lot in this past year about myself and others. I've relished every lesson I've been blessed to learn.

My sister sent this Apache blessing via email this morning and I thought I'd share it since it's so beautiful... (brought tears to my eyes)

May the sun bring you new energy by day.
May the moon softly restore you by night.
May the rain wash away your worries.
May the breeze blow new strength into your being.
May you walk gently through the world and know
its beauty all the days of your life.

So, I even tried a new hair style to commemorate my new year, bantu knots. I've only tried them once before while my locks were still maturing and it didn't turn out well. I ended up looking like a runaway slave and as you can imagine, it just wasn't a good look. I think I took them down while driving home from the salon.. lol

Needless to say, they turned out a whole lot better this time around (smile)!

Tell me what you think...
