{Love & Life} Musings on turning 35…

November 14, 2014 by Danielle 6 Comments

birthdaygirlRGBAs I sit here on the eve of my 35th birthday I can’t help but think about all that’s changed within the last year. I lost my ‘good’ corporate America job earlier this year and it forced me to step out on faith. To actually take a chance on myself and my dreams. To pursue my love for travel and my love for weddings has been a blessings. But it’s also been one of the hardest things I’ve had to do and I’m still standing.

Was it hard? Yes. Did I cry? Yes. But would I do it over again? Absolutely. What I have learned is that no matter where you are i life, no matter what you have if you have a dream or a goal you must go for it. One of the main things that has kept me going is this blog. It’s like my baby…the thing I’ve done all by myself and it continues to grow and as it grows so do I. This little piece of the Internet pushes me out of my comfort zone and yes it has been hard at times but I’m thankful for this space. So on my birthday, I’m proud of what I’ve done here and in other areas of my life and I thank you my readers for being here..for reading, commenting and believing in my vision. There is so much more in store for me and this blog…stay tuned. Now I’m off  to enjoy some birthday cake!

Much love,

Danielle
