I’ll be 40 in a few weeks and I’m eager to see what that decade holds.

Goodness knows, I have some ideas…but I’ve found those don’t always play out how I thought.

I thought about “leaving my 30s in the dust” but that sounds kind of like I want to ditch them and never look back. What a waste that would be, as it’s been a decade FULL of living!

I don’t want to leave it in the dust, but I do want to leave what didn’t work there.

I’ll be 40 in a few weeks and I only want to take the very best with me.

🌟 Still learning.
🌟 Still growing.
🌟 Still practicing patience.
🌟 Still healing.
🌟 Still laughing.
🌟 Still releasing.
🌟 Still alive and up for the adventure!

Those things can remain.

But the uncertainties and insecurities and discouragement and upsets…those things don’t get to come with me. Adiós, enemigas!

I’ll be 40 in a few weeks and there’s too much to enjoy to be bogged down with old weights. Some weights make you stronger, and some weigh you down. Choose wisely.

My back is to my past, with my eyes on the future. 40, let’s go! You and me, baby!
