a letter to/from the birthday girl
January 23rd — Preparing for my 29th year with a birthday card to myself and a few of my favourite moments and photos.
Here’s to more winks in the mirror, being weird as all hell and dancing ALL THE TIME. Thank you to everyone who made me cry laugh this year — 28 was remarkable. Can’t wait to top it.
Twenty-freaking-nine
Congrats! Another trip around the sun! And what a freaking glorious one! You got married!! To this guy that makes you laugh ALL THE TIME — when you’re sad, when you’re hungry, when you’re overwhelmed. Plus, he laughs at your jokes (extra points). The two of your dance in the morning and respect each others quiet time — what dreamy aquarians. He think you’re crazy (with good reason) and supports your every ambition. You enjoy the simplest and more lush moments. So wowww — congratulations, my dear.
This year you were brave, you moved across the country. You tried several somethings NEW — notably learning and practicing wedding photography from/with an incredible mentor. You even booked your first wedding!
You were bold — you reached out blindly to a company you wanted to be a part of and created a role that you naturally excel in and enjoy. You’re continually learning and enjoying teaching yourself design and marketing. It has taken TIME to say that, to be here. Hats off honey!
You cared less, you spent less, you thought purposefully and you loved BIG — this next year we’re going further, we’re chasing colour; in everything — in health, family, career, AND in laughs.
You were the happiest when you were laughing, learning, being creative — doing something new / when you were inspired. Twenty-nine is for the colourful pursuit of new endeavours, going after the electric thread of inspiration and happiness. Follow the excitement and see where it goes.
Happy birthday to me from you! Every year is brighter than the last when you’re around people you love who dream big alongside you, sweet girl.
To more winks in the mirror, being weird as all hell and dancing ALL THE TIME,
All your love to me and mine to you,
Love,
KATRINA
