Book 44

So I just happen to be 44 today. Damn,  I know, I’m old. I don’t feel that old and thanks to genetics, I don’t look that old either. When I think about it I am not really sure what 44 is suppose to look like or feel like. With that said, I may just look 44. And that is okay because I’m cute 😆. I’ll take it!


You know how some people get sad as they get a year older because they think they should be farther along in life. I haven’t exactly suffered from that but this year, I feel a little something. I feel unbalanced (and not just because I have MS). I am literally leaving the only home I have every known and starting completely over. No job and no real plan 😬. Crazy right?!? Yet here I am, just out here. 


I have no idea what Book 44 will contain, but I do have some expectations. For example, a husband, dammit! Lol. I expect my writing to get better and to finish my first book. I expect to travel more and to take pictures of all my adventures. I expect to be a better aunt to my niece since I will be closer to her now with the move. I expect to continue my advocacy work for the limited. I expect to finally figure out what the hell I want to be when I grow up. I expect to continue to grow my legacy of love. And on and on and on. I expect to not stop!


Each year I feel as if my life is just beginning. I feel as if I have more time to do what I was put on this earth to do. And this year is no exception. The only exception is I want to be intentional. I don’t want to loosely set goals and pray that they will happen. I want to set goals, take action steps to accomplish those goals and pivot when needed. I believe I can do that.


Well, Happy Birthday to me 🥳!!! As your next book approaches, what are some of your expectations? Goals? And how do you plan on accomplishing them? I would love to hear them! You can always comment in the box below or shot me an email at elsims27@yahoo.com. Be well and whole. Much love 🧡💚
