I'm turning 40 this week. I didn't think I'd be so contemplative about it. I have several beautiful, amazing friends that are a few years ahead of me...and they make it look good so I'm not too worried. Nevertheless, conversations keep popping up in my mind.
-Do you realize you're halfway through your life? What have you done? You'd better get started!
-Do you realize you're halfway through your life? What have you done? You're too late. You might as well lay down and quit.
They may not happen simultaneously, but both those conversations happen in my head. Yes, I realize the dichotomy. It happens.
Thirty-eight (as in, last year) was a exceptional year for me. I earned my black belt in karate. I was offered and accepted (and completed!) a project in my business that was bigger than I had ever done before. I learned some of what I was capable of.

In the time since I've completed those bigger milestones, I haven't had other "huge" successes. I didn't have the huge explosion I thought I might after I finished my big project. I have had some firecracker moments, though. Our karate school is growing and we've implemented some new programming I'm really excited about.

I've had some bummer moments, too. I injured my foot and couldn't participate in my regular CrossFit routine for 3 months...causing me to slow down a little and gain a little weight. Ugh. My son fractured his leg in his first season of football. I've had a slower season in my creative business.
But I'm not done yet and there are new adventures on the horizon. I still feel like I'm just getting started. Maybe I'll always feel like I'm just getting started, and that's a good thing. It means there's room for expansion. It means things are exciting and fresh. It means I'm growing...even though I'm almost 40. What new dreams do you have today?
Make it a beautiful day, friends.
