Today is Your Birthday-Embrace It!

Friday, October 12th is my Birthday!! I will be 46 years old. I can't believe it!!
I mean I honestly don't feel like I'm 46 and I'd like to think I don't look it;)

Taken a few weeks ago

As I've done for the past 15 years or so I am working on 10 goals I have for myself this, my 46th year of life. My list is not finalized yet so I won't share until next week.

My plans for the day include a morning in my studio....puttering around and listening to my favorite tunes. I may journal or just go through my stash....I'll probably enjoy a show during my lunch time {perhaps the new ABC Drama-Nashville} then work at the Art Studio from 2 to 3. My Birthday night Dave and I are going to the movies and enjoying dinner. I may even splurge on a hot fudge/caramel sundae. Jackson and Emma have plans all weekend....so its just me and Dave. 

Saturday morning I'm teaching a Soul House class at my church then work till 5 at the Art Experience. Sunday is church and rest. I think I have a pretty sweet weekend lined up:)

For whatever reason this Birthday has been a hard one for me...I think the number 46 is so close to 50 and I'm so not ready for that!!! But honestly I've decided that if I can get through all I did during my 45th year then 46 will be a breeze-LOL.  

Here is a canvas I was inspired to create from our Word this week-EMBRACE.



I think this will be my Mantra for this new adventure of being 46:)

What will YOU Embrace??

  10. Happy Birthday, Leslie! You definitely do not look 46! Hope you've had a wonderful time. I understand exactly how you feel, my elder daughter is getting married soon, and my younger one is almost finished with high school! I, too, will try to embrace it. I will post my "embrace" page soon. I've posted my "Courage" page at Motley Soul, hope that is right, not sure how else to do it. Thank you for this challenge. Kind regards, Charri
