Yesterday I turned 40.
Honestly, the day was easy. Brunch with friends. Cozy afternoon at home.
While it is a big one, I'm really leaning into the extended festivities - next weekend I'll be celebrating with family, and then in February we're doing a big family trip to New Zealand. This adventure has been a longtime coming, and now we get to do it to celebrate big birthday milestones for my mom and I: 40 and 70. (hers is not 'til August, but we're owning this whole year as a big one!)
If we've learned anything from the past three years of covid, it's that time has no meaning, and also time goes quickly. So I'm leaning into ease and moving deadlines to match what feels right. I'm not stressing about milestones or panicking about number of things I said "let's talk about this in January." Things will happen when they're supposed to happen (you know who you are if you're waiting on an email from me!)
This 40-year-old is here for bringing more joy, more ease, and more fun into life. Oh yeah, and also for abolishing the racial wealth gap. Let's fu***ng do that too. Each of us from our own little corners of the world, knowing that we're part of a bigger movement than just ourselves. 💪
