Hey Sunshine,
Today, I celebrated another year of life – a day that was simple, amazing, and filled with the love of God, free treats, and the company of those dear to my heart, here to study God’s word.
As I reflect on these 31 years, I wanted to share the invaluable takeaways that have shaped my journey.
Here are 31 lessons I wanted to share to live with purpose, on purpose:
1. Faith Over Fear: Confront your fears head-on, choosing faith as your guide.

4. Never Settle for Less: Set high standards for yourself and your life; never accept anything less.
5. Vital Solo Parenting: Solo parenting is tough but essential for safety and the well-being of your children.
6. Live Life Boldly: Embrace life with boldness, seizing every opportunity with excitement.
7. Kindness is Priceless: Extend kindness freely; it costs nothing but means everything.
8. Sobriety and Joy: Sobriety isn’t a compromise on happiness; you can still find joy without sacrificing fun.

17. It's Okay Not to Be Okay: Acknowledge when you're not okay, but don’t linger in that state; keep moving forward.
