It’s over, officially. My month+ long birthday celebration culminated in the most amazing weekend surrounded by family and friends at home in Napa. I’ve thought about this “big birthday” celebration for many years now, imagining how it would be and feel. This was everything and more. I feel so lucky to be at this place in my life right now, I really couldn’t ask for more and that is the most amazing feeling! I spent most of my 20’s thinking I “should” be doing this or that, wanting for what I didn’t have, not feeling comfortable in/with myself. I now feel more at ease and confident in who I am and where I’m going; I feel like I’m in exactly the right place doing exactly what I want (for the most part, I do have my days).
Thank you to all who helped me celebrate, I’m so lucky to have such amazing people in my life!
So many candles, so many desserts……
