Another Year Older

June 5, 2013 · 2 Comments

80bb85bcde1280221abe30da977657e4Another year older, another year wiser…Well it’s my birthday, and I’m 24! I’m not one to be overly excited about my own, more so for everyone else’s. The only thing I ever really want is to be on a beach or traveling, which I have been for the past 5 years, and although it wasn’t possible for a tropical vacation this year, I did manage to book a weekend away and have a surprise trip to LA this month thanks to my amazing roommate.

Yes, those worrying thoughts we get as we get older of how my life isn’t where I had planned it to be at this age, or that marriage isn’t in my near future, or that I haven’t been to Africa to volunteer, but the truth is life doesn’t have a plan. It’s when you let go of the idea that every moment in your life is supposed to happen at a specific point, that all those dreams and goals begin to unfold in ways you never though possible. I may not be on the sunny shores of Jamaica with my best friend, but I will be in her wedding next year, and I know the chance to see the world is ahead of me! This past year I’ve learned a lot about myself, had many new experiences, and I’m in a position in my career that will only bring me great opportunities to make all my dreams come true. Life is beautiful, and I’m going to savor every second of it!

A Lover of Nature & Kindness, constantly smitten by the simple pleasures of life. Travel fills my soul with bliss & inspiration. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing. I love the outdoors & live for al fresco dinner parties, cozy candlelit romantic affairs with warm fires & blankets to share.

I dream about these things, it’s true. Yes, it’s all the small details in life that drive me & everything I do because we all deserve to celebrate every special moment in our lives…

Little Delia is turning 5 this weekend! I still ca Little Delia is turning 5 this weekend! I still can’t believe that time has passed by & I’ve been lucky to have done her birthdays since she was 1. So here’s a little walk down memory lane to all her past sweet & fun parties🌸

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
