Waking up above the clouds in Haleakala’s crater for my birthday
Hellooooo, you sparkly pearl!
Birthdays are funny, aren’t they? They invite us to pause and peek down memory lane — a stroll filled with laughter, lessons, and love.
This past week, as birthday wishes poured in from all corners of my life, I felt deeply touched. Every message — a reminder of the moments shared, the hearts connected, and the beautiful souls who’ve shaped my journey.
Someone said to me, “Jessica, you live and celebrate every day like it’s your birthday.”
What a HUGE compliment! Because isn’t that how life should be lived? (This is one of the few shoulds I support people using in their life 😉)
Not waiting for the candles to remind us to make a wish… but waking up each morning knowing we’re already the wish come true.
Every sunrise is another chance to unwrap the present — the actual present — of being alive.
Every laugh, every tear, every breath is a little confetti in the celebration of being human.
So yes, I do celebrate every day like it’s my birthday — because each day truly is another turn around the sun, another opportunity to love deeper, dream bigger, and shine brighter.
My passion is to help you do just the same (even if it is not hiking 2,000 feet into a crater to sleep with nenes who tried to attack Todd 🤪). Here are a few questions to shuck open your shell and shine even more too.
💜 Reflection Prompts:
- How might you live today like it’s your birthday — even if it isn’t?
- Who would you thank for being part of your journey so far?
- What new wish is ready to be made (and acted on!) this next year of your life?
Thank you for walking this path with me — for being part of my story, for helping me shine, and for letting me witness your light too.
Here’s to living and loving every day like it’s our birthday. Now go live your wish!!! 🎉
🎁 Oh, and I have a little gift for you from my sweet friend Anna Gecheva from Miss Organics! You get 25% off your first order until the end of October using the code LIFESHUCKER. I don’t make money from this.
