My Birthday List of 52 52s

My Birthday List of 52 52s

It's My Birthday12/13/14 is my 52nd birthday! I am adopting “Another year wiser and a little more fabulous!” as my tagline for today and the coming year.

While I will speak often in the coming year of releasing the past, living in the moment, making decisions today for a better tomorrow – today I want to remind myself it’s okay to take a little time to look back on the road I’ve traveled this year. Celebrate the journey and the progress.

Now, here’s a little gift for you in celebration of the 52 years since my birth. This list of 52 52s is fun, informative and may even cause you to  think a bit. I had a great time putting it together for you. Read them all today or pick one a week. How ever you go through this list, remember to Enjoy!

My birthday wish for you:

May the coming year be filled with love, laughter, health and prosperity for you and yours.

A List of 52 52s

  1. The number of years since my birth. The age when many women peak, feeling a confident sense of well-being, comfortable with their bodies ‘both inside and out’.

You become more accepting of the things that you are not good at.’
  2. The approximate number of weeks in a year.
