    Being the first female on my mom’s side to get a phd; being the first female to not be a teenage mother out of all my female relatives on my mom’s side; being the first to practice non violent upbringing in both our families (me and my SO).

    Getting a full ride scholarship for all of my academic life: Bachelor’s, Master’s and PHD.

    Getting a green thumb after thirty and having my flowers, shrubs, ferns, fruit trees and succulents thrive.

    Getting on a horse after 30+ years of not doing it after a mare threw me off.

    Quitting smoking cold turkey.

    Working on my self trough therapeutic work to be my most authentic self.

    Exercising regularly for some years now when I came from a family that did not emphasize the importance of body movement.
