Life Changes and Accomplishments

I was inspired to write this blog because of a statement Jessica Simpson made in USA Today about turning 30 this summer and her ever-changing life....

'I've accomplished a lot'

There is a change in this Simpson — she has matured, has a thriving clothing and accessories empire, and will celebrate her 30th birthday this July.

"I'm ready to not be an old 20-year-old," she jokes. "That's the positive light." On a more serious side, she says she feels as if "I've accomplished a lot by age 30. I have my career and a great perspective on life. Dang, I've been married and divorced and fallen in love 10 times again." As for her dating life now, Simpson says, she's "hopeful in love and prosperity and friendships."

Regardless, Simpson says she's in "a better place."

"I think that we have to take the negative part of our lives and find some positive change. My reason is to be able to stand up for women around the world."

And it doesn't hurt to be standing in really great shoes.

I am 27 and still have a lot of life ahead of me.
A lot of things I plan to accomplish.
If I've learned anything in my life so far, it is to expect the unexpected.
Things don't always go according to your "plan", and you just have to roll with it.
Sometimes it's rolling with the punches...ouch!
But life goes on.
You pick yourself back up, dust yourself off, hold your head up high and keep moving.
Life is too short.

In my life, I've....

Fallen in love...a few times.

Had my heart broken....several times.
Graduated college.
Moved out of state.
Discovered my calling in life.
Married.
Divorced.
Admitted to graduate school.
Made several good friends.

And much more, but those are the highlights.

What's next for me...who knows?!
