It's my birthday. And in celebration of that, I like to write this personal note on my previous year as a 32-year-old.

When I told someone that I was turning 32 today they said, “Whouia, that’s older than I thought you were!😆😆😆” I took it as a compliment.

I am grateful that I have reached the age that not everyone gets. It is a gift from above, an honor, a blessing, and a privilege in the life that I have now.

Every time my birthday comes, I enjoy the most of it and a few moments to reflect on what’s transpired over the last 12 months—and think about how I can keep growing in ways that support my physical health and my mental well-being.
