one year older and wiser too



Ok, so I wouldn't say I'm any wiser than I was a year ago, but I can definitely feel the aches from this past year teaching & changing me. I got a card from Jill in the mail this afternoon that said (hope you don't mind me sharing Jill), "I hope you will come into your own and feel more confident and comfortable with yourself as time goes on. I think that's what happens during a woman's 30's and it's a beautiful thing!" I know this to be so true. Each year I understand a little better who I am and am a little closer to where I want to be...too bad the road ahead seems to stretch further and further ahead of me. But then again, I'm beginning to realize we're not meant to catch up it's all about the experience.

Here's to another year of exploration, perhaps not as many bumps (aka scars) this time.

Happy Birthday Amy!! I hope this is a great year for you! I'm flattered that you chose to quote my words, and so glad they spoke to you.

You are a rock star. So glad it has been a good day so far- that you have another year of experiences under your belt that I can learn from. Happy day pretty lady!

Amy said...

Happy birthday! I hope you had a great day.

Happy Birthday! I think you're fabulous and I think that you already have come into your own and grown more comfortable in your skin, just in the time that I have known you. You're amazing! Hope this year is 10 times better than you hope it will be!!

Happy Birthday Amy. Your pic is darling!

Those words are too true. I wish for you the same.

Happy Birthday!

If it makes you feel any better, I would not have known that about you (except when you talk about it on here) and I actually really love that you do. You seem so confident, competent, and sure of things. So, thanks for always being willing to be a little vulnerable and share some of those things about you. It is just that I never would have guessed. I think you're amazing.

P.S. I'm a friend of Robyn's -- in case it seems strange that a stranger would be saying these kinds of things.

Great picture, gorgeous gal!

I'm turning 30 this year, Yikes. Jill's words and yours are encouraging.

I like you. Happy Birthday, friend.

Happy Birthday! I'm turning 30 at the end of this year, with a new home (a house), a new car and a third child -for this year or the beginning of the other one-(if everything's going fine). So I guess it will beautiful things for my 30's!
This picture of you is really beautiful (well, the woman on this picture is beautiful :-))
Thank you for your comment on 12of12. It means a lot to me that you're interested in my "work"...

Amy,
I forget that you and I have birthdays so close and that our 5 year olds so close.

I hope this year that you will start to see what we all see when we look at you.

You are amazing, stunning, full of talent, full of possibilities.
Happy 34.
