✨ 40. ✨
Turning 40 wasn’t just another birthday.
It was saying goodbye to four decades that I’ve had the privilege of living through, learning, building, making mistakes, healing, loving, growing, and ultimately finding myself.
This year, I stepped into a new decade with one intention: to allow more love, more positivity, more peace, and more patience with myself and the direction my life is taking.
As I looked around this weekend, I felt overwhelmed with gratitude. I was surrounded by so many of the people I love dearly, celebrating me. What a gift that is.
We are all walking our own paths, carrying our own stories, victories, heartbreaks, lessons, and dreams. And what a blessing it is to share this journey together.
As I enter this next chapter, I do so knowing how fortunate I am. There are so many people I love who couldn’t be there, and so many who never had the opportunity to reach this age. Because of that, I don’t take a single day for granted.
Forty feels different.
Not because I’m older.
But because I’m finally learning that life isn’t about having it all figured out. It’s about embracing every season, loving deeply, and being grateful for the chance to keep becoming.
And to my incredible husband, Jeff… how truly blessed I am to have such an incredible man by my side. Life hasn’t always been easy, and we’ve worked hard for everything we have built together; emotionally, financially, and through every season in between. Through the highs, the lows, the uncertainty, and the growth, you have been my constant.
I am so grateful for us, for our story, and for the love we continue to choose every day.
Here’s to the next decade. 🩷
