Today is my birthday, chickens, and I am pretty excited to be celebrating another year around these parts!
The sun is shining out here in Los Angeles, and yesterday I had just an amazing day with all my friends out at Angel City Brewery, having delicious beer, enjoying each other’s company, holding a pretty adorable baby, and playing some awesome games. I am so lucky to have a fiance who was willing to put that all together and so many friends to enjoy the day with!
As I celebrate this 28th year, I hope you guys can oblige me five things that I’d love for my birthday. What I’d really like for my birthday is if you could:
1. Sign up for Be the Match. Be the Match is a bone marrow registry committed to matching bone marrow donors to patients; you could help save a life, and signing up is free and takes only a few minutes.
2. Register to vote. This is an election year, and voting does make a difference. Along with this one goes ACTUALLY voting.
3. Get healthy! This is one I always am working on…doing more yoga, exercising more in general, and eating more whole foods, more fruits, more veggies, etc. The big things for this one are alleviating stress, eating better, and moving your body – guaranteed to make you happier along the way, too!
4. Do something that makes you happy. You know we all comisterate every day about something – our jobs, our roommates, our cars, our commutes, etc., etc. Today, just take an hour and do something HAPPY and then share about it, talk about THAT, and start trying to be full of gratitude instead of anger/etc. I am guilty of this too, but what a perfect day to remember how awesome my life is??
5. Unplug. Something I’m trying to do more of…put the phone down, and the blog, and the laptop, and just be in the moment. Talk to people, look them in the eyes, swim and frolick and climb and dance and enjoy life, and worry about the digital world later. Unplugging will you help you unwind, too!
I hope to follow all of these along with you, and wish everyone a great day, birthday or not!
