I'm 28 years old today.

I've spent much of the last week either coughing or in bed, knocked out by a horrible cold. Mostly I napped and watched episodes of Mad Men, but it did allow me some time to foggily reflect on my 27th year.

My birthday celebration last year also doubled as a farewell dinner with dear friends, as just a few weeks later Jason and I left New Zealand. It's been a bit of a crazy year, and because I've had my head down so much with school I almost feel like it hasn't happened. I've been spending so much time in my head, and in the routine between work and class, but I've learned so, so much. One of my greatest gifts this year is that my birthday also marks only two months until graduation. I also feel very blessed that this year, I'll be able to celebrate with a new group of awesome people.

28 has always sat in my mind as a sort of landmark, possibly even moreso than 30. The rest of 2010 is going to be pretty important for me – graduating and looking for my niche in the bodywork community, not to mention finally sinking my teeth into some new photography work. But what I want is for all of it to help me get a bit more grounded in my life and finding more confidence in where I'm headed. Most of all, I want 28 to be about shit getting real.
