My 41st Year | A Photo Journey

It’s a QUEEN’s birthday today!!! I don’t know about you, but when a new birthday approaches, I look at it as a new year of sorts. My own personal new year!! I become reflective and look back over the year. The fun I’ve had. The goals I’ve accomplished. The things I need to work on. The highs. The lows. You know, the same thing most people do when a new calendar year rolls around. This year, those reflections took me back through some photos. I scrolled through my 41st year month by month. And I must say, I enjoyed the walk down memory lane. So much so, I decided to share them with you. 41 was filled with fun travel, lots of music, my ladybug and luvbug growing and thriving, family & friends, new experiences, a lot of firsts, and tons of shenanigans. It has been a really great year and I’m looking forward to more greatness, more new things, more firsts, and more living, laughing, and loving in chapter 42.
