32th Anniversary


At my 32th anniversary, I’m thankful for:

1. Having the opportunity to be alive after 32 years since I was born
2. Being able to enjoy a night out with friends and sip delicious wine, Malbec – in other words, being free
3. Blow a candle and have three wishes: love, health and faith. All over a delicious chocolate cake that I was able to enjoy among friends. All this as I was aware that millions of people all over the world does not have the opportunity to do such thing
4. To appreciate how I was able to transform myself in the last six years
5. To realize that I’m capable of dreaming and pursue those dreams
6. Knowing that I’m capable of loving as well as falling in & out of love
7. Loving and accepting myself (my mind, body and spirit) just the way I am – in the here and the now
