Welcome to Love Notes from Rhonda and Happy birthday to Me.

Happy birthday to me.

Yep, today is my birthday.

Oh, my gosh.

You know, every year I.

Attempt to.

Create a memorable experience.

Whether that's relaxing, whether that's with friends, whether that's adventuring.

Whatever it is, I want it to be meaningful.

I'm a date person.

I like dates.

So for some people, birthdays don't matter.

For me, birthdays matter.

In fact, they matter so much that when I was younger, before Fearless Loving, I used to keep a pad of paper next to my phone and write.

Everybody'S name who called me.

And if you didn't call me, I'd be very upset.

Do you think I had some expectations?

Oh, yes, expectations.

I no longer do that.

And if you don't remember my birthday.

I'm cool with that too.

But before pre Fearless Living, I was not happy.

But now I can enjoy my birthday because I know it's a day to.

Honor me, honor my past, honor my presentation, and perhaps at times, create my future.

It's good not to live in expectations.

Anymore, instead, with intention.

So my intention today is to honor.

Myself, to appreciate and respect myself, to.

Write 10, 20, maybe even 30 acknowledgments.

And as many gratitudes to remind myself.

That I have been living a good life and that I do live a.

Good life because I'm living the life.

That I was destined to.

That is my destiny.

I believe that each of us are.

Born on this earth at this time.

Because we are meant for a purpose.

We do have something within us that is meant to bloom and blossom.

And we just don't know all the time.

We don't remember all the time that we're actually living it.

Whether we know it or not, we're actually living.

You're living.

And I'm living our destinies right now.

I was living on living in my destiny when I was in my black night, my dark night, my tough night for three years.

I was living my destiny when I.

Was living in my car.

I was living my destiny when I was an alcoholic.

Because all of those things got me here.

So I invite you to look at.

Your life.

And take some time for gratitudes and acknowledgments to remind yourself that.

Every single thing you've ever done has.

Brought you here in this moment, right.

Now that we're together.

May this day be a day for you to claim your unfoldment as I do the same.

May this be a day for us to remember that we are alive and.

We'Re born for a reason.

May this be a day that we.

Remember that our lives have meaning, whether we remember that or not.

And may we remember that we matter.

Even if nobody makes us feel that way, we do, because we're here.

And right now, we're here together.

So happy birthday to me and happy birthday to you.

Until next time, be fearless.

I love you.
