My 40th Birthday gift from my family and friends

Print now available here

I'm 41 years old today!  Somehow 41 seems so much older than 40.  I don't know why, it just does.  Last year, in the week I turned 40 we moved house and Ms L lost her job.  All in the same week!  It was huge.  Too huge!

I remember years ago when I was going through a particularly hard time a friend's Mum said to me "you're life will be completely different 12 months from now.  You can't see it now, but trust me it will.  Change is the only constant."  She was so right.  Whenever things get tough I remember those words.

Today couldn't be more different from life 12 months ago.  We are completely settled in our beautiful home, I work part-time at a fantastic organisation, my creative business is up and running again with lots of great plans for the future and I'm 15kg lighter than I was a year ago.

Life is good.  It's busy, interesting, challenging and rewarding, yet with a certain simplicity about it that suits me well.   For the most part I feel grounded and focused.  I feel like I'm growing into a version of myself that I'm pretty damn proud of. 

I reckon it's going to be an excellent year.
