Once I hit 35, I began dreading turning 40. I was going to be ... da da da ... OLD!
I've had conversations with my Mom where she shared that "Life began at 40".
This is my Mom, by the way. Isn't she beautiful?
Anyway, a thought occured to me, while I was writing my newsletter, that it would be a wonderful conversation to talk about what's great about being 40.
So here's the questions:
What's BEST about being 40 (or more)?
-or-
What are you looking forward to when you are 40?
Here's some of my answers.
I know what I like better.
I am stronger in standing up for what I want.
I like myself better.
I'm more confident.
I care less about what others thing, and care more about what I think.
I am looking forward to your answers. Have fun!
Dream BIG!

Hi Velma,
I will be turning 40 next spring, and have to admit, it has been somewhat of a mixed experience. On a physical level, i am starting to notice changes in my body, my skin and what is particularly hard, I am becoming increasingly unnoticeable to most people, particularly men (and sales people!)
On the other hand, I can understand your mother's comments about life begininng at forty. I found that out at age 13. At that time my mother was nearing the big 4-0, and one day I found a new book in our little library, which was called "Forty - finally!" The author talked about growing up (things I could certainly relate to at that time), and how different women view life after 40. The book had me riveted, and I remember thinking, after having finished reading it - wow, I can't wait to be 40!
Happy belated Birthday!
