It’s my birthday tomorrow! 🥳 

I’m celebrating in Savannah, Georgia this weekend (it’s my first time visiting!) and the Spanish moss-draped oaks, and the historic charm of the city, all set against the backdrop of the Savannah River have made for the most *perfect* birthday getaway.

The eve of my birthday naturally has me feeling reflective. As I turn 31, I'm sharing 31 life lessons I've learned over the years. From small insights to big realizations, these have shaped my journey.
