I turned 38 this year. I'm not worried about that, at all. Age is just a number, one I'm proud of - definitely, because I'm grateful to reach it. I always remind myself that growing older isn't something that is afforded to everyone, so I'm grateful I'm one of those few. And also of course, growing older is inevitable, but growing up is optional!
As people keep reminding me... it’s the slippery slope to 40 now, it’ll be here before you know it! I've thought long and hard about the run up to my 40th birthday. It's one I'm so looking forward to, and of course there will be a big party at the end of it! But also there are some things I want to do before I turn 40.
I've thought about this list of things for a while, writing and re-writing and trying to find challenges I want to do. I must admit my list started with things like, 'lose 3 stone', 'go to Mexico', 'visit New York', but I realised that some of those things may be out of reach and actually I need to concentrate on the small joy bringers in life too, that and losing weight DOES NOT DEFINE ME! So I waited for the New Moon in Taurus, meditated, got real with what I really wanted and revamped the list. Today I am ready to reveal it to the World, so here it is....
