Well Hello 34!
Last week I celebrated turning 34. Tony and I celebrated my birthday weekend in Chicago. All I wanted to do for my birthday was get away for the weekend and have a saucy birthday photo-sesh! Tony really wanted to take me out and do something special and he really made this weekend epic! Saturday night we found this cool European nightclub called Terminal 5 Club. We haven’t been to a nightclub in a few years now and wanted to get some dancing out of our systems. We had such a good time! The bartender we had was super sweet and made me yummy martini’s. The music was mostly house music. The crowd was a lot of fun as well, and if you are ever near Schaumburg, IL this is a great place to have some drinks and dance.
I’m VERY thankful to have made it to another year around the sun and I thank God every day for life, family, and friends. I normally have certain goals that I like to meet before the next birthday. This year has definitely been different. I’ve learned so much in the last year and I don’t feel so down about not making every goal I set forth. I’ve done a lot and for my 34th birthday, I’m going to reflect on personal lessons from the last 34 years.

34 Birthday Reflections – Lesson’s I Learned:

- You’ll never see your full potential by staying in your comfort zone, take a leap of faith!
- Dancing in the morning is a great way to start the day.
- The world is so unique and full of amazing experiences, travel more!
- Put God first, pray for big and small things everyday.
- It’s okay to be selfish
- Say NO more
- People will hate, keep killing them with kindness, and pray for them.
- Collboration over Competion.
- I feel much better when I’m eating healthier, drinking more water and excercise.
- Be proud of who you are.
- Being thankful more often.
- Listening to the Word in the morning before doing any work, really helps ease my mind.

- Learn to listen to your body.
- Take mental health days as needed.
- Take more naps!
- Stay humble and stay true to who YOU are.
- Never compromise your values and beliefs.
- Spend more time to reading and less screen time.
- You can’t please everyone, stop being a people pleaser.
- Stay out of other people’s drama/mess.
- You will get your heart broken, probably more than once, but you’ll survive.
- Spend more time in the great outdoors.
- My past mistakes does not define who I am today.
- Life is not so much about being fearless, it’s about moving forward despite our fears.
- Mondays represent a clean slate and fresh start. Going through life hating them is a waste. TGIM.
- Surrounding yourself with passionate people means having to work harder on your relationships. This requires less assuming and deeper listening. It is worth it.
- Expecting people to be perfect is an exhausting way to live. The people you love and respect will disappoint you. Love them anyway.

I turned 34 last month and all of these you listed are so true. Especially #32. Mondays are my favorite day of the week for the exact reason you stated; clean slate, start of a new week.
Happy Belated birthday Tamera! Yes, took a while to love Mondays, but now they have become one of my fav days of the week. Get a fresh start to get stuff done! Thanks for stopping by! – Titra

What a fun birthday shoot!!! I wanted to do one for my 50th last December, but didn’t because of the pandemic. Thanks for the inspiration and hope that you had an amazing birthday! I love the one about being grateful more often!
Hi Julie! I’m so glad you enjoyed today’s post and happy that I was able to inspire you. Definitely do this if you can. All we did was book a room and decorate it. I wanted to feel sexy and young while growing. I def think this would make you feel so good. It made my birthday fun. I hope you get to do one this year.
