To celebrate my upcoming birthday I’m sharing 25 things I’m proud of experiencing and accomplishing. It’s been 25 years, but it appears a lot of the proud moments have surfaced recently. Imagine that : )
What are you proud of today? Consider the big things AND the little things.

7. I received a raise 7 months into my new position.
8. I ran 1 mile 2 miles 3.5 miles… and counting!
