30 Days Til 30: Do You Feel Different @ 30?

Sunday September 18, 2011
Today is Sunday for many the day of rest for others a day to find spirituality.  As I am about to turn 30 I realize that faith is something we all need to hold on to.  Finding that spirituality that comfort and being held in faith and goodness is a must.   Life can throw curve balls but when you have something great to hold onto its easy to knock them out of the ball park.

Monday has come and I am confident in where life is taking me.  I know that for many 30 is no big deal but for me it is.  I had a lot to accomplish by 30, and so much that wasn't.  Yet there is so much that has happened that I would never take back or regret because I am exactly where I am meant to be.  I still find though my weaknesses are not having the strength to fight for myself sometimes because of what I stand for and what I do for a living.  I take my name and who I am very seriously and sometimes they say it is lonely at the top.  They say when you reach success sometimes you lose friends, and people.  It is a sad reality but one that must only mean I am doing something right.  It has come with great pains but ones that I am OK with because of the hard work I did.  When you work hard at something you appreciate it more.

5 more days till 30 and I feel fine with being on this earth 30 years.  I do have to admit I feel a bit more selfish in a good way.  Not in the "I don't care about anyone else" selfish phase but in the "If I don't care for myself I can't take care of anyone else" selfish phase.  Sometimes selfish is good.

What to do for my Birthday is the big question here.  I oddly want to bring it in peace.  So many reservations and outings planned and I think I am OK with postponing them until after my birthday.  I feel like in order to bring in this amazing time in my life I need to do it with peace.

3 more days until my Birthday.  It seems to be the biggest thing in my life.  It seems like just a number but many of us ladies have anxiety about it.  It affects us.  So much more to accomplish but so far we have come.

The one thing I think women fail to do is prepare for the time they are 30.  I mean financially stable.  I urge women to prepare themselves to be able to take care of themselves.  So important.  Just a tidbit I think many of us should realize.  Create a savings plan to create a nest egg for your future.  If you haven't by the time you are 30 then start asap honey, you deserve a great retirement with no worries.

It is tomorrow the big day and I am anxious.  However, I did take the time to confirm my feelings about bringing in 30 quietly and everyone has agreed.  Tomorrow is the first day of the next amazing part of my life.

BIRTHDAY DAY!!! Sunday September 25, 2011
The day came in quietly.  I woke up late, whether you believe this or not I never get to sleep in so AMEN to peace!  I slept in and woke up to being surrounded by my family.  The day was spent with good eats, good movies, and good family time.  I felt love, I felt warm, I felt that my life was at peace and suddenly I realized the greatest thing about 30 and I was no longer afraid.  I realized that no matter how many times I had been broken.  That no matter what I went through.  That it didn't matter if I had no one to believe in me.  For the first time I believed in myself.  For the first time I knew I was strong enough to go through anything.  I realized that I had become unbreakable.  Through becoming unbreakable I was surrounded with peace and love in the perfect place...the heart of my husband and son.  I was 30 and happy.  To answer the big question do you feel different at 30?  YES! and Damn Proud of IT!
