Champagne birthday and 5 years!

This time last year, I was in a SoCal road trip with my friend Anna celebrating my 30th birthday. A milestone that I was excited for... Turning 30 in a life that I truly love was like opening the door to a wonderful decade sure to be filled with so much love, joy and new experiences.

And now, one year later... I'm with Anna again for my 31st birthday on the 31st of Halloween and we are in Italy of all places after London and Paris. How blessed to meet a soulmate in the form of a best friend in this lifetime where I get to share so many special moments of my life with! The reverberation of WOW, in full effect. Wowowowowowow!

My 3rd decade of life coincided to the lead up to my 5th year teaching anniversary and boy... It was a wild and fantastic ride. There were many high points and as life would have it, some lows as well. Definitely more highs than lows, but that is always a result of hard work, dedication and positive mind set.

There's just so much to be grateful for... Truly. Mostly, I have gratitude for the people in my life. The love, the support, the care, the smiles and the laughs that surround my life while teaching something I love is how I got here... And truly, without the wonderful people that make the kaleidoscope of Kate Mak's world... Well, it would just be boring black and white.

So cheers to turning 31, teaching for 5 years and to the continual evolution of self.
