DIARY: Lovely Pictures From My Quarantined 30th Birthday Party

Since the beginning of the year, I've been dreaming of having a BIG 30th birthday party. I dreamt of having a cocktail/dinner party where guests socialize while drinking and eating appetizers and all that good stuff. I also wanted to launch my second book, Twenty Pieces on my 30th birthday.

However, during this time of social distancing, as a result of COVID-19, a lot of adjustments had to be made. So I had a small party in my living room with twelve (12) of my closest pals. It was such an exciting and emotional event altogether. I'm beyond grateful.

My Birthday Party

To make it feel more like a typical birthday party, amongst my twelve-guest invitees, I had a Master of Ceremonies, a Guest Artist, a DJ, a cook, a photographer and balloon-blowers for decorations. It was basically what I would have done on a normal day, but this time, in a smaller way.

I give it God through my husband for making it happen. It was a very memorable one as you may tell from the lovely pictures below. . .

My lovely cake. No, they are cakes, actually.

As lit as these pictures look, you don't have to be a celebrity to celebrate or be celebrated in a fun way. In fact, you don't have to be famous at all. You could stand outside a loved one's home and sing "Happy Birthday" to them while still social distancing. Just ensure you are doing all you can to be a beacon of light in someone's life.

The opportunity to spread love, kindness and joy has never been greater than today.

I'm thankful for the people I've been blessed to call my friends and family. The outpour of love on my birthday was overwhelming. Gosh!
