Happy 39th Birthday to Our Founder

Today marks a special milestone as we celebrate the 39th birthday of our founder and namesake, a visionary whose passion and dedication have shaped everything we stand for. This day is more than just a birthday; it's the end to one decade and a prelude to the next decade and WOW what a place to be in!

The Early Years of LéSans LéRue

For those that don't know this birthday is really special to me because not only do I love my birthday. But I was born (39 years ago) on Wednesday, May 20, 1987. It comes around every so often but it makes it so much more special. I surprised my parents and shocked the world at 1:18am. Growing up as an only child most people feel I was spoiled rotten, in actuality I wasn't. I came second to my cousins who were here decades before more and sucked up all my parents' youth (and patience lol). Life growing up was lonely but I learned to persevere and navigate the world from my little point of view. I enjoyed coloring, drawing, and living out my imagination concepts. I love that I was able to hold on to that and continue to nurture that part of my childhood.

Celebrating 39 Years

Reaching 39 years is an incredible milestone. I'll be honest a LOT has happened up until this point. Even when I think back on when I was 9, 19, and 29. This 39 hits different. I personally still feel like a unsupervised teenager just winging it in life. Realizing I'm a WHOLE ADULT is terrifying but it's been a wild ride. I've learned a lot about Life, relationships, people and most importantly myself.

I'm starting 39 as a diabetic and learning how to navigate the lifestyle that comes with that. Its only been a year but it too has been a rollercoaster. However I'm happy that it did come along because it taught me how to take care of myself. Just like the changes in my relationships with people; I learned to put myself first. Granted it was hard end to my 30s but it doesn't go unappreciated. Nope, not one bit. I want to make this last year count and bring forth my 40s with a BANG (I also wanna go to Disneyland lol).

So for my final year of my 30s. I'll be having my cake and ice cream of course like I said I wanted. But I want to be more confident and established in myself. I want to continue to build up LéSans LéRue, LLC into the business and foundation that I've always dreamed of. I want to be an inspiration to people, but what I really want is to stop being the background character to my own story. I want to turn up SO GOOD this last year that it amazes me! So much that I can say when I turn 40 this time next year, OH YEAH I GOT THIS!

Looking Forward: Chapter 40

I'm going to be real with you guys and dolls, I am PETRIFIED of turning 40. It seems like everyone goes feral or crazy at that age. I don't know if that's the menopause or midlife crisis kicking in or what? (Plus I already had my midlife and quarter-life crises) Am I gonna explode into glitter or what? All jokes aside. I am hoping that I can learn to enjoy more of myself, more of what life has to offer. Stop saying I WANT TO or I'D LOVE TO and actually DO IT. Visit the places that I haven't been to, experience things I only thought was a daydream. Most importantly continue to love and appreciate myself and not let what others around me fog the vision that I want to have of myself. Here's to the next decade of being LéSans LéRue.
