It’s the last day of 2020 and also my birthday– we finally made it! I know 2020 was a lot different than we all expected, but before we say our goodbyes to this year it truly has taught me a lot. This year has taught me to be happy, positive, and thankful for every day. And to celebrate all the highs and lows of our unpredictable yet beautiful lives.

To celebrate my birthday today I wanted to put together a list of advice that I have gotten and saved over the years.
