Truths and Ice Cream
Three truths for this now thirty-three-year-old:
1. Mommy value is greater than market value.
2. Do what you love and blessings follow.
3. Never compromise your integrity.
There’s nothing like turning a year older to do some self-reflecting. I’ve always known those three things are important, but they’ve never been more true till this year. Simply knowing about things is different from living them.
Happy birthday to me! Thank you to all those who’ve already greeted. Thank you to all those who read my blog. Thank you for following my little cove in the blogosphere. Thank you for being part of this little community.
I wish I could give out birthday ice cream to all of you right now, but virtual ice cream sharing hasn’t been invented yet (I think!). So let’s just pretend we’ve got an ice cream cone each with your flavor of choice. 
This birthday girl’s having good ol’ chocolate with nuts and marshmallows. What’s your ice cream going to be?
