Another year gone by

Chicwish top c/o (I love this off-the-shoulder one too) / Black jeans (similar here for less – only $59!) / Black booties (these for less) / Sunglasses / Not pictured: Handbag / Lips: Chanel in Gabrielle

It’s my birthday! I’m a huge believer in celebrating and I am thankful to spend the day with family and friends. This past year has brought so many changes and I am grateful for all of them. Let’s throw a little confetti and celebrate with cheer – it’s another year gone by!

I’m incredibly thankful for all of you! I’m continually inspired and touched by the kindness and thoughtfulness that I see through readers on here. From emails and random notes of support, to snapchat conversations and Instagram comments, I truly appreciate that you engage with me. It means the world to me and it never goes unnoticed. I love the interaction!

My birthday wish is to encourage you to try something new this year. Anything. Whether it’s a blog of your own, a new workout routine, Whole30 or a diet plan, buying a new house, redecorating, taking an online class to learn something new, travel to a new destination – just do it. When I started this blog I didn’t think twice about it or worry about if everything was perfect. I didn’t have any particular goals about the blog other than I knew I had something to say to the 40+ crowd. I learned along the way and found my voice. The initial action and passion are what’s most important. You just have to decide you are going to do it. I hope that you’ll be able to find the courage to do that. That will make me so happy!

“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” Oprah

  Roberto, ci sono anche alcune cose che ignoro, lo avevo pure scritto >:)Del resto prima aumenterÃ del 100% poi ancor piÃ¹, poi finirÃ .E quindi finita la festa rimarranno solo i problemi senza solouizne.Non sono cosÃ¬ masochista del voler sostenere un sistema che Ã¨ insostenibile e e che lascia spaventosi problemi a coloro che verranno.Val di Susa e nucleare sono proprio i fettici di questo peggior modernismo nichilista.
