So, it’s my birthday……
Im thankful for this day 🙏 The day I arrived to earth February 19th at 11:32am…with no instructions, maps or explanations. The day i was born to play out this wild ride called life. To be the author of my journey. It’s strange how clear things become when you are suddenly reminded & aware of your mortality….
Do I keep trying to make sense of this human experience or do I finally surrender to enjoying it? Or even better, after all these years in training, can I please be wise enough to do both equally?
I’ll be honest, there are days I’m head over heels in love with this life I’m creating & everything is magic, everyone speaking in quotes, & I’m high on life.. then days when I can’t see the point of anything & I’m so bummed and frustrated I can’t make sense of it….
But I can tell you this ..I don’t think we find or make magic – I think we’re earnestly pursued by it, every day.
Maybe it’s never been about the firsts or lasts, as much importance as we place on them. We have zero control over our endings or beginnings .. but about what we do with all the in-betweens; not about the whole puzzle of our existence. Which we can’t ever fully comprehend, but about how we deal with the pieces … place by place, choice by choice, word by word, person by person, moment by moment. It’s about now & now & now ✨ however messy or imperfect. I’m scared I’ll miss it if I close my eyes but I must go to sleep…

Today I just want to take a minute to thank each and every one of you for the birthday wishes. Please know that not one transmission from your soul to mine goes unread, unnoticed or unloved.
I am a constantly evolving love affair with life, a conversation with the world, with you. You are, in part, the reason I’m still burning.
So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ❤️

Dear Rest of my Life, I humbly & boldly salute you. Thank you for the blessing of another year.

P.S. Rewrite Your Life. As many times as necessary. Until it feels like yours. You don’t create a masterpiece on a first try. Love your life. It’s all you have. Take radically good care of your heart, body & soul …..

Oh and I promise to smile more in pictures 😉
Love, Sarah Elizabeth
