HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TO ME :: Jacksonville, FL Portrait Photographer

Dear Self,

Wow!  Another year around the sun.  Where does the time go?

You did it.  You made it through another year with some pretty awesome changes and growth.  You often have to remind yourself that life is an adventure and with adventure comes changes and taking leaps of faith.

So today, I’m reminding your beautiful self that everyday is a journey.  You’re going to screw things up and that’s okay.  With failure comes success — remember that!  Don’t be so hard on yourself.  I mean really — eat the chocolate frosted donut with sprinkles.   You’ll thank me.

I hope you spend the next 365 days smiling more, laughing often, enjoy your morning cups of coffee and just be grateful for all beautiful moments life has to offer.

You only get one shot at this amazing thing we call life — so live it well, be generous, practice gratitude and love yourself just a little more than the day before.

So CHEERS!  Cheers to another year and to making it memorable.

Love,
Self
