“I’m breathing and in the sky I spread my wings.”
I feel incredibly grateful to celebrate 33 years today. This year has taught me so many valuable lessons; Make every moment count, everyone is fighting unseen battles, and to be gentle with myself and others.
Counting my blessings this past year, I forged unbreakable bonds with some beautiful souls I now consider my chosen family. I fulfilled my mother’s dream of traveling as I explored Hawaii, London, Paris, Guam, and Shimoda. I built and branded my own e-business, Little Mavericks, scheduled to launch in 2020. I skydived, attended a photography class, had a blast at Tokyo’s Pride, and danced my heart out at Miguel’s concert. Most importantly, I grew to love another being in ways I didn’t think were possible again. My growing pains encompassed facing childhood traumas, how they are impactful in many areas of my life, and how to properly heal through prayer and self-care. Other challenges included weight gain after my successful weight loss, practicing forgiveness, being vulnerable during times I felt unsafe, and putting forth effort to foster connections most important to me.
I’m looking forward to a happy and healthy year of growth as well as focusing on self-care. My plan is to hit the gym, meal prep on Friday nights, journal, and do whatever makes me happy. Life’s too short for much else. Oh, I almost forgot... and I will BREATHE and spread my wings. Check out this beautiful song by Hamzaa. I can’t stop listening to this soul stirrer.
Feeling free and breathing,
Ro’s Little Lady
