Half Birthdays & Weekends
By anniehurley
Today is my half birthday! I’m 34.5.
For the past several years, July 15th has caught my attention because it signifies the halfway point between the vision I had for myself at my last birthday and my designated deadline for said goals.
July 15th still gives me the luxurious cushion of six more months to go to translate my dream vision into my reality. continue…
