One Year Old

“Colbie’s 1st Birthday” on instagram

Colbie is now one year old. I can’t believe it’s already been a year.

Celebrating her birthday got me and Jasmine talking about our favorite birthdays from the past.
What’s mine, you ask?
Well, when I was six, I had a clown at my party. And he had his imaginary dog tinkle on me. Yes, I just used the word “tinkle”.
I was mortified. I cried in front of everyone. But, I love it because I can laugh about it now. And I have an awesome story…

Ok, I’m done thinking about it.

What was your favorite birthday? You can leave a comment below.

How Jealousy Holds You Back

 

Yes, jealousy holds you back. It’s that stupid thing that creeps in and leaves you always wanting, never satisfied. It’s that thing that will keep you pushing your own agenda without giving others a second thought. Jealousy will make you miss out on opportunities. I could change every “you” to “me” or “I” in this post and it would work because I’ve felt this never ending, ugly jealousy. But the thing is I don’t want it. This isn’t a competition.

So, here’s to beating jealousy and truly being happy for others when they succeed.

Make Me A Better Person

Jasmine makes me a better person. Well, she makes me want to be a better person. She makes me want to make others smile. She makes me want to surprise her. She makes me want to love her more. I don’t praise her enough publicly, but she is my better half. The one thing she has in her possession that I need more of is compassion. She feels it when I don’t.

What do you wish you had more of?
