cate | today, you are 40

you did it, you made it to F-O-R-T-Y

they say it's all downhill from here, but I don't know if it's true

it's certainly not the ride you thought it would be getting here

but you made it in one piece

now what? what does this year hold for you?

and what would you tell 20-year-old you about making it this far?

that it's ok, it all works out

that it may not be the path you though you'd take at 20, but it's the path that gets you there

that 40 feels like any other day, nicer than 30, closer than 20

this year can be one of following the dreams (once you've figured out whta they are)

of finding your voice in the see of voices

of exploring your creativity, and hugging your children

finding space to fit it all in

and growing through the process

F-O-R-T-Y

it's not scary

it's an adventure

where will the adventure take you?
