Dear 33...

Number 33 is a Master Number (Master Teacher) and resonates with the energies of compassion, blessings, inspiration, honesty, discipline, bravery and courage.

This is what my 33rd year of life will be...

Happy Birthday to Me #Cake #33 #ItsMyBirthday #SMOM #SMOMintheCity

Even though I am not overly religious...I love what #33 represents.

Jesus did some of His best work at this age...I hope to follow his footsteps...

Yesterday, I celebrated my 33rd Birthday. I started this new year of life by running a 5k benefiting a shelter for homeless youth with my #MiniMe and I do not know if there could have been a more perfect way to end year 32 and begin year 33.

Giving back while bettering myself in the process.

The Promise

So, to my year of 33...I hope to be more thoughtful and purposeful in every action, activity, work, thought, etc that I do. I choose to make impacts in the best way possible.

Social Responsibility

With all of the atrocities you hear happening to children around the world and here at home, I cannot help but want to do SOMETHING. Now, as a mother and a woman who hopes to expand her family one day, I simply cannot afford to do NOTHING.

I always had a soft spot for kids, but since becoming a mom...I am a full on softy for children. I hope to spend this 33rd year of life giving back and nurturing the next generation as much as possible.

I promise to be even MORE outspoken when it comes to the protection of children.

While I have never been a "bully" per se lol....LORD knows no one can ever say they bullied ya girl;) I feel like that is for a reason. I am meant to be a voice for those who truly do not have a platform. I realize I am bold enough to stand up to the baddest and biggest-they do not intimidate me for I am a #Queen and royalty flows through my blood.

WERKING Momma

This year I will continue to put in that WERK lol. While, I have achieved many of my career goals, there are more I need to attain. My new career move was a big accomplishment, but I cannot get comfortable.

Expect me to continue to be the career ninja that I am and move in silence;-)

The #MiniMe

Man, do I love my little #MiniMe. I promise to continue loving her, teaching her, leading her, nurturing her, extending grace to her, and being inspired by her.

She is and will always be my favorite #LittleHomie.

Family and Friends

I promise to continue to be my authentic self that we all love and find frustrating at times lol. I commit to continue being open and honest, while offering some of the best laughs!

Basically, the world should watch out. Year #33 is sure to be my fiercest year yet:-)
