It's My Birthday



The big Three-One is here!

What a year this has been. I think it's true what they say about a woman in her thirties. It's just better (despite some of the crappier things that have happened). Today I'm busy starting work on the art department of a tv show, working a bunch of freelance photo and staging projects with some amazing people and attempting to get more rest. I've shot magazine covers and spreads all year, reconnected with family and taken a lot of risks.

Looking forward to taking stock and laying some plans out for the next year.

What birthday rituals do you have?

Its very nice.Home Staging is a growing profession and may help to get your languishing home sold.Home Staging is a key marketing tool to help you reduce expired listings, sell the property more quickly and for more money, resulting in greater profits and more referrals from satisfied clients.

Happy Birthday! I love your blog and especially the one where you built the garden box. I didn't feel so bad when I did my own gardening and my cilantro died early on. Anyway, 30's rock...I realized many dreams in that era. As for Birthday rituals, it's all about having a day of fun. Last year, it was Amoeba Music and a glass(es) of wine at the Chateau Marmont in a cushy chair for me. I hope our day has been fab.

Happiest birthday wishes! (even though i'm a bit late)

My birthday ritual I latch on to in recent years is I try to learn something new on that day. My life is very busy and time is always such a luxury. I like the idea of making time on my birthday to "fill up" my creative bank with something new. This year, I took a one-on-one screen printing workshop.

Hope the next year brings lots of good things your way!

Happy birthday Laure. Hope it's a decent one. The ritual I have is dessert - someone usually makes me a delicious dessert, or buys one. It's only a small ritual but a special one!

i don't have birthday rituals, but i just started doing something i saw on andrea's superhero journal - a completion activity for the year: http://www.superherodesigns.com/journal/archives/001846.html.

kind of a nice way to reflect + be ready for the next year of life, whether you do it at your bday or new years eve.

Happy Birthday!

I am going through the same crappy time as you at the moment (re. boyf) and I am also months away from 30 and working on realising my long term ambition of being a children's book illustrator.

Reading your blog is helping get through a difficult time, and I love hearing about all the successes you're having :)

I can't wait to turn 30 - hurrah for new beginnings!
Have a good one.
