Life begins at 40 :)

I am turning 40 this week and it inspires me to really be present in my age. Certain years stand out and we can really stop and take notice where we are and where we have been. It seems like decade birthdays are those kind of years.

While I was pondering 40 in my heart and mind, it was interesting to me how I compared 40 to being faced with death. It somehow makes me want to do things that I have been putting off. I am in no way close to death, unless God has a different plan for me that I don't know about, but when I become more present in the moment I am in, I just naturally want to feel inspired by the actions I take. Some of you will chuckle to yourself and think, "mid-life crisis". Maybe it is, but if this is a crisis I sure like it. I feel more inspired and energized than I have for awhile and more present for life's ups and downs and all arounds.

I would love to carry this feeling into every new year and even new day of my life. Feeling filled with where I have been, open to where I am going, and present where I am is a great place to be. I send you all this feeling and lots of love and light and gratitude for who you are in my life.

Blessings, Liz
