This is a very inspiring post Briana! Thank you for sharing your lists of things to do and done! I think I want to do this too, it's not my birthday or anything but just so I can take an inventory of my life. I think it will help me to see how blessed I've been and have a more grateful attitude. I'm proud of you for you who are! You really do understand WHO you are and WHY you are here, and I need your example, so thanks for being so inspiring and strong! You're a beautiful daughter of God! Confident and successful! You're amazing, friend! I love you!!!
Love it! Have a great birthday, Briana :)
