💌Letter from Quinesha

My birthday was this past weekend, and I had a blast! I went to the beach (I’m not a Galveston hater), ate my favorite oysters and crawfish, sang my heart out at karaoke, and ate a lot of cake.

I’m a recovering birthday girl-aholic. I’d claim an entire weekend of everyone’s life, with a specific agenda, and even daily themes! Those were definitely some memorable celebrations, but over the past few years, I’ve started viewing my birthday as less of a spectacle I need to put together for others to enjoy and more of a time to do the things I love and be around the people who matter to me.

Yet birthdays have a way of making you think. Now my biggest dilemma is aging. It’s a constant back-and-forth. I know I’m not an old maid, but I’m also not that young whipper snapper from back in the days. There’s no way to stop or reverse time, so why waste time reminiscing on another part of my life?

I know that one day I'll look back at this exact moment and wish I were this young again. I'm choosing to be here instead. I've been working on being more present in my everyday life, and I'm realizing I need to apply that same thinking to the bigger picture. I don't know when I'll enter my next era, so for now, I'm focused on this one.

Who am I in this era? What does she need?

​
​So What, What Now?

While I'm still figuring out all the answers, here's what I know: in this era, I'm building a business, enjoying my first year of marriage, developing my dance skills, getting into the best shape of my life, and making time for the people I love. And most important- being a dog mom, which is basically a full-time job.

Those are the things that make this era mine. I'm not trying to rush to the next one.

Reply and tell me: what era are you in right now?
