37:
~ a prime number, meaning that it only has 2 positive divisors, 1 and itself
~ an odd number, meaning that it can't be evenly divided by 2
AND
AND
~ the year of life I'm celebrating today!
Let's recap 36:
So there were some milestones and significant events
- I became TJ, Ph.D.
- I lost a pet and gained a new one.
- I celebrated a year of marriage with my hubby.
- I started a new career.
- I climbed mountains in the Grand Canyon.
- I chopped all of my hair off.
- I fell in love with blogging.
- I learned that just because things don't pan out the way we want, there's always something greater on the horizon.
- I de-emphasized physical beauty and really looked inside of myself.
- I learned that I am a pro at riding the wave of change.
- Sometimes when things are really messed up, you have to speak out.
My husband and I had a long talk about fearlessness the other night, and I tried to think back to the last time I felt like I was totally fearless. I was probably 10 - excelling academically, busy being the head of all kinds of little organizations, always trying to make my voice heard. Lately I've been trying to figure out when I strayed. This world can be hard, and somewhere along the way I lost my fearlessness. I have a girlfriend who's motto is "F@ck perfection." I think mine is going to be "F@ck fear." So in the spirit of f@cking fear, here are my hopes for 37:
May I continue to become more of myself. May I continue down the path of learning to say no. May I continue to cut all of the unnecessary apologies. May I be a better wife. May I continue to deepen my friendships and make space for new ones. May I become a better teacher,
Y'all, 37 is about to be a big one. I'm bout to get it! Don't know what exactly "it" is yet, but I'm on a mission to find out. I believe God is about to get loose all over my life. I mean, look at 36. He loves to show out! I'm about to make my inner-10-year-old proud as I grow in fearlessness.

Until next time . . . I'll be grooving to my (and Hov's) birthday song, December 4th.
I'm certainly glad you fell in love with blogging. I enjoy reading your posts.
