45. When you’re middle-aged but just getting started! ✨ Ever-grateful for this life, my family, friends, this community and the opportunity to keep getting better, growing, and striving towards more goals I have in my heart! 💕

I remember when my mom turned 40. She sat atop the staircase of our home and cried. I was in high school. My brother was 3. She was young, vibrant (still is), but somehow felt her age meant life was over. And while times are different now and we view age differently, I have always vowed to treat my 40+ years as something to truly celebrate and not dread. I’m proud of where I’m at and while I haven’t got it all figured out, and still have many dreams + exciting things to work towards, I want to show my girls life is truly what you make it, and age is just a number.
