Turning 35 this past Saturday felt significant. There is something about this milestone…

I spent the week leading up to my birthday, putting together a list of 35 Things I have Learned in 35 Years. I got the idea from a blog I had come across.

I thought I’d share my list with you.

 

35 Things I have learned in my 35 years: I learned…

To passionately follow my dreams

That timing is everything

That to be the best you have to learn from the best

That actions speak louder than words

To celebrate my femininity

That fear and excitement come from the same place

To live in the moment

That happiness is my choice

That true love is possible

That feedback is important

To make potpourri

The importance of giving back

The value of journaling

That everything happens for a reason

That simplicity is beautiful

To make adversity my friend

That I can make hard decisions

That sometimes it is best to walk away

That friends come and go

To eat humble pie

That I am strong enough to bounce back from hitting rock bottom

To be comfortable with uncertainty

To not take things personally

That it is none of my business what others think of me

To delay gratification

To keep the main thing the main thing

That my body is built to give birth naturally

That breastfeeding is a beautiful experience

To bake bread

To make time for family

How to be a good wife and mother

That my children are my biggest teachers

That life is a journey of learning

To celebrate

To be grateful
