| 36 Times Around the Sun | As I celebrate my 36th birthday, I find myself reflecting on the lessons that have brought the most joy, peace, and love into my life. Some of those lessons are found within these five books that have shaped who I am today: 1. The Bible: This is my daily compass, guiding me through every season. It’s an act of faith and worship, a source of strength that never grows old. Each time I read it, I find new meaning that speaks to the present chapter of my life. 2. The Secret: “Ask and you shall receive.” This book changed how I view life, helping me understand the power of vision, manifestation, and gratitude. Positivity attracts positivity—it’s truly a choice and a mindset. The more you give, the more you receive. Simple, yet profound principles to live by. 3. A Purpose Driven Life: On my 4th read of this one! This book is a guide to recenter our “why.” It challenges us to live a purpose-driven life, unlocking ways to do so. 4. The Four Agreements: So simple, yet so powerful. Be impeccable with your word. Don’t take things personally. Don’t make assumptions. Always do your best. 5. Becoming Supernatural: A recent addition to my reading list, and one I’m finding hard to put down! Dr. Joe Dispenza shows how we all have the potential to tap into extraordinary abilities and transcend our limitations. It’s both eye-opening and inspiring. Every birthday is a moment to reflect—on how far we’ve come, where we’re headed, and what we’re grateful for in the present moment. It’s a time to celebrate what was, what is, and what’s yet to come. As I look forward to this next year, I pray for abundance in business, health for my family, and opportunities to give more, do more, and be more than I ever imagined. Cheers to being one year wiser!

So, On my birthday,I started to consider how I WANT to think about birthdays. Here's what I decided and thought :- 1. **Reflecting on Growth**: "As we celebrate another year, reflect on the lessons learned and the growth we achieved. Each birthday marks a new chapter filled with possibilities." 2. **Embracing Change**: "Birthdays remind us that life is a journey of growth and change. It embrace each new year with optimism and courage." 3. **Gratitude and Joy**: "Celebrate your birthday with gratitude for the precious gift of life and joy for the moments shared with loved ones." 4. **Setting Goals**: "On our special day, set new goals and aspirations. Let each birthday be a reminder to pursue your dreams with passion and determination." 5. **Celebrating Milestones**: "Every birthday is a milestone that deserves to be celebrated. Acknowledge how far you've come and look forward to the future with hope."

Regardless of what people think of birthdays, I always use them as a prime opportunity to reflect on the life I’ve led and the lessons learned. And boy, am I feeling grateful to be celebrating my 33rd lap around the sun. Some say that the 33rd year is the year of enlightenment. Maybe it is?! But I don’t actually believe that enlightenment is a thing you can achieve. Like healing, I think it’s a process - it’s not linear. It’s not an endpoint. It’s ongoing. And isn’t that a blessing in itself?! 3 things I’ve learned: 1. Just because something is done or believed by the majority doesn’t make it right. Listen to your intuition... If it feels off, it usually is - no further explanation needed. 2. It’s okay to change your mind. We evolve and learn new things. Embrace it, baby! 3. Most people are doing their best with what they know. Try not to take things personally. 3 things I’m grateful for: 1. All the experiences I’ve gained, lessons I’ve learned, and people I’ve met along the way. Particularly you Alec Dunning 2. My curiosity and hunger for learning. Essentially, my unwillingness to accept “the norm”. 3. The love & support I continually receive from my family and friends. I truly feel LOVED. And that really is something to be grateful for. Life is magic. 🤍✨🪄

Understanding that Life is a forever passing phase . Can free the mind from celebrating events Christmas, Passover and Birthdays.

For my 39th birthday 🎉, here are my 39 maxims to live by… 1. Ideas aren’t special. Action is. 2. Don’t let others define who you are. 3. Appreciate the past but don’t live in it. 4. You can fake a lot of things but you can’t fake happiness. 5. Time is your number one resource. 6. Health is your number two resource. 7. Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it buys you time. 8. When you have time, money, and health, then you can do whatever you want. 9. Dogs are content to be with us. A kind word or moment of attention absolutely makes their day. Don’t lose sight of that. 10. Sometimes emails need to be re-read 24 hours later, make sure you give yourself that window before pressing send. 11. You can live for needs or wants. Living for your needs is hard. Living for your wants is easy. 12. First class is always better than economy. 13. Your kids are always watching. Make sure you are setting the example that you think you are. 14. If you do what everyone does, you will get their results too. 15. You can do your best or you can do what’s required. They aren’t the same thing. …I’m sending the rest of them out via email - hopefully you are on my list! 🚀 And as always…all I want for each of you is that you invest in yourself, do the hard and uncomfortable things, take action, and give everything you have… …when we do that, the results are absolutely amazing 🙌

12.20 Day 18 in the Season of Advent FOR IT IS IN CREATING EXTRA SPACES IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO ACCOMODOTE MORE, AND ALLOW OTHERS CREATE EXTRA SPACES FOR OTHERS AS WELL. Lord, integral in our traits as humans is to have "extra" in many things to ensure we are ready and prepared in any eventuality to adopt in times of changes and needs. We buy and store extra foods in our grocery closets. We make extra time in case of delay or not to be late. We ensure allowances in order not to be short of anything. We create extra spaces even storages to ensure all our belongings can be placed. Dear God, as we always make sure we have extra, we fail to extend and share our extras with others. We only think of our own needs and conveniences. How many times denied You in life of others especially the people whom you called us to serve. In this time of Advent, as we create extra spaces for all our temporal possessions and needs, may we also provide and create more spaces for others and for our spiritual needs. May we have more time for prayers and extra presence in the life of others. Show extra kindness and understanding for others for those who are misunderstood. Extra help for those who are in need. Extra love for those who are wanting in love. For it is in creating extra spaces in the interiors rooms of our hearts and mind that we are able accomodate more and let others make room for others as well.

Helloooooo February!! ❄❤️ We survived January, I think everyone should give themselves a pat on the back for getting through the month! While February is known to be full of paper hearts and chocolate, it has a few things going for it, despite being the shortest month on the calendar. 💗 February gets to the heart of the holidays that educate and makes us giggle at the quirky ones, too. February isn’t just about love; it’s more well-rounded than you think. DID YOU KNOW? ⭐ There is a 1 in 1,461 chance of a leap day birthday. ⭐ February is derived from the Latin februo which means purity or to cleanse. ⭐ Because February usually has 28 days, once every 6 years, it’s the only month to have 4 full 7 day weeks. In the years that aren’t leap years (otherwise known as common years), February and March start on the same day of the week. ⭐One of the earliest flowers to bloom in February is the primrose which even blooms through the snow. It is also February’s birth flower. There is lots to be positive about heading into the month ahead and if you are eager to take positive steps to bring about a brighter month ahead with a new role, there is no better time to look at the market. If you would like to know more on how you can kick start your search, I would love to hear from you! 🤩 📞 07726 682643 📧 emilia@ado.gg #february #newmonth #positive #jobmarket #jobs #Guernsey

Value Every Moment Have you stopped to consider that today is a special gift from Him? Sometimes, our days can be so full and busy that we forget how fragile life really is. It can be easy to allow little things to creep in and steal our peace and joy. Maybe something doesn’t go our way, or someone says something upsetting. Even traffic can cause us to lose focus if we let it. We have to remember that each day is a gift. If we choose to focus on what’s wrong, we’ll miss the blessing that each day has to offer. I encourage you today; don’t let the precious moments of life pass you by. Don’t wait for holidays and birthdays to show people that you care. Remember, each day is unique and irreplaceable. You have been given time that can be invested or wasted; hours that can be used or misused. We need to learn to value every moment we’ve been given. As you daily keep a proper perspective, you’ll gain a heart of wisdom. You’ll draw closer to Him and experience the full blessing that He has for you each and every day! Today is a gift and so it is called present. Value Every Moment.

11 things I’ve learned in 54 years Celebrating my 54th birthday over the weekend, I took some time to reflect. We’re all evolving and growing, making mistakes and learning some lessons along the way. Here are a few insights I picked up during my 54 laps around the sun: 1. At times, the best way to move ahead is to let go. 2. Being grounded and present is the most luxurious and exotic place on earth. 3. Confidence comes from doing hard things and learning how to bounce back from setbacks, not from hollow praise or participation trophies. 4. A freeing way to walk through the world: give generously, don’t keep score. 5. Fast > perfect. 6. Self-reliant people who take agency and responsibility for their outcomes are far happier and more successful than those who blame others and play the victim. 7. Legends do the work. 8. A core responsibility is to regularly put ourselves out of business with an upgraded version. 9. Kindness is a force multiplier. Anger, fear, and greed are pollutants. 10. Laughter is miracle-grow for the soul. 11. The purpose of life is a life with a purpose. Mine is to elevate others, love unconditionally, and help unlock human creativity to improve humanity. Hope these insights spur some exploration for you. I’d love to hear what you’ve learned during your laps around the sun. Please share any wisdom bombs you have in the comments below...
