This year I set out Wishes for 2014 , made challenges of 101 Things in 1001Days and have FULL intentions of sticking to those items. However, as year 29 starts today, I have to make myself a few promises that I feel really important to me as a woman embarking on a new path in life.

So, for the start of a this new chapter in life, here are my promises.
I PROMISE:
…to not settle on who I give my heart to from this point. Yes, my heart will surely be broken again and again, but the love of my life is waiting to receive and cherish it.
…to give myself credit for the things I have accomplished and continue to do in life.
…to try new and adventurous things. Stop living in this box and wander outside the cage.
…to meet at least one new person a month, whether it be a date or a friend.
…not to be so hard on myself. At 29, it’s not that bad and could always be worse.
…to give myself a chance to forgive the past and heal. A broken heart must mend before staring to beat again.
….to rediscover my faith and the true connection I have with Him.
…to get off my lazy behind, stop procrastinating and finish freaking school.
…to write my bucket list, my living will and to start a journal to give to my kids one day, only one year worth.
…to not expect perfection in everything. Love things and people the way they are….just the way they are.
…to LOVE ME more than anything in the world and that means being healthy physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Today is my twenty-ninth birthday, and my name is Lena. I am a Pennsylvania born, South Florida raised woman who is just being introduced to herself for the first time in years. Today starts the day when I learn about myself and what my passions truly are in life. Come join the ride.
