I’m a Leo and we love our birthdays. It’s like my own national holiday. This year was the big 47, which is a blessing to see but none the less makes me feel rushed for time. So many things I have not accomplished yet, money I haven’t saved and debt that I still owe. All these thoughts after the celebrations commenced. Why does my brain play these games with me when all these things existed the day before my birthday and I have been working on it all.

Since my kids dad died suddenly this year, time scares me. It’s something he always talked about. Time is the most expensive thing we have and yet the thing we don’t own. So many what if’s holds space in my brain. I hold on to the passage in the bible that says my latter will be greater. Age has thought me to find hope when you can’t see the way. We hinder ourselves and our progression because we can’t see or know the whole plan instead of trusting God. If you know anything about God you know you loves you and wants the best for you. I have so many stories I can tell that is an example of this.

Yet I have fear I don’t doubt God and what he can do if I do my part. I’m so excited about my new year. I have a few things in motion that I’ve sat on for years. So far 47 has shown me that this is my year of pivoting. I’m a type A so I had all my birthday plans set weeks before the day. All of the plans except 1 worked out like planned. Normally I would have been pitching a fit but surprisingly to me I was calm and went with the flow, look at me growing. The new plans actually worked out better and I had a good time, so imagine if I would have pitched a fit my mood would have been different. Hmmm, now that I think of it the new career I’m seeking from what I’ve learned will be full of pivots and problem solving. I look for the lesson in everything and what was I supposed to learn from it. It’s a good to approach to life instead of focusing on the problem.

Be Well, until next time.
