The Birthday Girls

My twin sis and I will be a year older by the time you read this post. (Ok, not a whole year older, but you get my point.)

For our 30th birthday, my sister gave me a framed list of 30 things she loved about me.

It was — and continues to be! — one of the best presents I’ve ever received. It is amazingly powerful to see yourself through the eyes of someone who loves you “warts and all.”

I highly suggest you find a way to get someone to write you such a list. *wink*

(Or write yourself a list. Better yet, write someone YOU love a list.)

…

While only minutes older, my sister has always taken her role as “big sister” seriously and led by example.

A prime example is that she quit her job years before I did to go back to grad school.

She said she wanted to do something she wanted to do.

And she thought she could. (Turns out, she was right. *smile*)

Thanks for leading the way, big sis!
