39...and LOVING It

This is what 39 looks like...I think I'm holding it together pretty good. Sure...I could stand to loose some weight and there are more wrinkles than there were at 29 but overall, I'm looking pretty darn good.

What you can't see...what is absolutely GOURGEOUS is what's inside! I say this without conceit because it is true. The following is an excerpt from my journal tonight: "At 39 I am so much smarter, braver and wiser than I've ever been before. I'm learning to actually experience my like, to bea  full participant in each and every moment instead of moving thru it like a horse with blinders on...I've always know I was strong and capable but this last year I've amazed myself. I didn't know 1/2 of what I was capable of..."

I'm excited about my future...it's all laid out before me just waiting for me to shape and mold it into what I want it to be.

The following pictures are from a small birthday Soiree (thanks Dion Nashe for that phrase..I LOVE it) I threw for myself...

My Shenita Lynn (I want boots like her's when I grow up)

Me and Dion Nashe

Me and my Loretta Lynn



 Loretta made and entire Cream Cheese Poundcake just for me...just for my birthday. OMG! This is the BEST poundcake I've had in all my life. I'd marry it if I could. Although in certain societies this would be frowned upon...I believe if you ate just a slice, you to would propose.

I belive she might be holding the fire

2011 is going to be my year...I can just feel it. One of many more to come...my freedom was hard earned but damn well worth it!
