I’m turning forty-two years old. It’s feels different than I expected. I’ve changed so much this last year–and I’m ready to welcome this next year with open arms.
I’m learning to listen to my heart even though sometimes she speaks in a quiet whisper.
I’m practicing speaking my mind–even when I make waves.
I’m beginning to understand the importance of self-care (and that I can do it without guilt!)
In big, amazing ways I’m seeing with a fresh perspective that my three boys whom I adore, also adore me. And I’m beginning to believe in a new, deeper way that I am worthy of love and adoration.
At forty-two I’m learning how to simply be me in new and powerful ways. It feels humbling and empowering.
Today, on my birthday, I’m slipping on the adored ring as a reminder that I am loved. The X and the O represent the beautiful, imperfect, enduring love that surrounds me. And that is definitely something to celebrate. Thank you for being an important part of my journey–I’m thankful for this community!
Happy Birthday to you! I hope you have a wonderful weekend and blessings that follow you throughout the year to come. 🙂

Happy Bday to you Lisa! All my best wishes to you, enjoy your time and celebrate, hope you still have some wishes but some which become truth.
The recognising of this age and how you feel sounds realy how I (1973) think it is (Woo-hoo, yes not every day but this is independent of the age isn’t it.?
Love your blog photos, stories and family scenes.

Birthday girl, Lisa,
How can I feel such love for someone I’ve never met? I don’t know but yet I do. You, your family, your heart, imperfections, and yes your jewelry fill me with love. Enjoy your day… 24 hours to simply be quiet with your goodness… Not your perfectness bUt pure goodness. I’m wearing one of my favorite necklaces right now (from my husband) charms with names of our family members. Yes, I made it easy by sending a not so subtle hint and link, he acted, and you made it.
Sending you joy and sparkles, Tam xo

Happy Birthday Lisa! I hope it’s a blessed one!!! I LOVE your rings! I have had a rough 3 years personally and last Dec. I came across your hope starburst ring and got myself one for Cmas… I wore it everyday on my middle left ring finger as a reminder to have hope that God would work out my life.. that he was all the hope I needed. Well I lost the ring a few months ago and haven’t been able to replace it yet but I will! Your pieces are so heart warming!!!
Happy Birthday! 🙂
