| Happy Birthday Starkey! |
Have you heard, it’s the Ides of March? The Ides of March
and no I’m not referring to the death of Julius Caesar, but rather the
celebration of my 29th birthday! The Ides of March is the day that I
was born to Anna B. and Daniel. The Ides of March meaning the day that I
reflect on all that I ha
ve accomplished and things that are still on my vision
board.
This year’s birthday, I decided to do things a little
different. I wanted to focus on the things that bring joy to my life-writing
and serving the community. This memorable day is the perfect opportunity.
Opportunities happen all of the time. It can be a possibility
to work on a project or to meet the next big thing. The beauty about it is the
fact that they happen all of the time. For instance, I had a vision of creating
a group for writers to congregate together to fellowship and write. I talked
about for months, but no action. However, after my original birthday plans
changed, I chose to actually implement it. I can’t believe it’s actually
happening. My fellow Winthrop writing buddies are together typing on the keys
and touching the screens making magic happen with words. Now this is an
unbelievable opportunity because I haven’t seen some of these ladies in years,
but our interest and purpose in writing brought us back together. Opportunities
occur just that simple and easily! It doesn’t take a lot of effort because it
just happens.
I also decided to give my time to the community in one way
or another. My sorority hosted our annual youth symposium this morning. We had
youth from different walks of life learning great information and participating
in hands-on activities. I also requested handbags and unused toiletry donations
for Endless Dreams Foundation’s DreamHER Campaign. This is a memorable and
meaningful day! I am so thankful for everyone who took part in making it a
great day!
