May 11, 1974 I was brought into this amazing world as a tiny little human wearing an earth suit and my original forever Soul watching over me. Delivered in Mattawa, ON, brought home to Rutherglen, ON to be raised there my whole life until I moved out at 19. My parents still to this day reside together in the very same home I was raised in all those years.
I'm not sure the exact time I became excited about "aging" but definitely recall being excited about my 40th birthday. What an honour and a privilege to walk this walk for so many beautiful years. I am a fortunate woman. Some years better than others and some literally just a complete shit show. All for learning, all for the accomplishment of who I am today.
Aging is a gift not given to all. Many lose their lives far too early, never maturing to an age where they are certain and comfortable in their own skin (earth suit). Aging is a time to embrace what we were taught not to accept as young children, teens and even adults. Things such as wrinkles, grey hair, thinning hair, sagging skin, loss of lustre in the skin etc. I am here to tell you that aging as a woman can be amazing and beautiful. You must appreciate it and accept it as it is inevitable anyway. Why not choose to do it well? Why not choose to do it gracefully? Why not choose to do it with class and as magical AF?
I am sooooooooo excited to turn 45 this year I can not even begin to truly explain to you. I am not sure I can even comprehend it all myself. I am beyond blessed to be here today, in the health I am in, the amazing adult children I have who are my absolute best friends, to be this age and say "um ya, I have a 7 year old"... not everyone is given these gifts.
Growing and aging are two of my favourite things to be quite honest. I do not want to live one day of my life not growing. This looks different to every human alive. I challenge you to find what, where you want to or even need to grow and make it a priority. Don't waste your life just "doing". We are human beings...so BE your BEST human. Do your Soul proud, meet your tests and graduate your lessons so you don't have to keep repeating them earth suit after earth suit after...you get the picture. Your Soul wants you to see your best potential and reach it. You can do this I promise you. Everything you need is already inside of you, you just have to want it bad enough, be willing to put the time in and most importantly just BE. Not everything is a rat race, you do NOT have to be stimulated all the time...turn off the tv, put down your phone, don't go out for coffee, don't buy the "next best thing" etc...just BE, rest, seek, learn and grow into your next level of being. Don't over do it, don't strive...just allow it to happen. You won't be sorry you did and you won't ever regret NOT having to do the lesson over and over and over until you get it right. I am not suggesting life will be perfect or that everyday will be grand etc. You will struggle and you will have to fight to be who you want to be, believe in what you choose and keep going. you got this. Once you get your head around it I'm telling you you will be the most powerful woman you have ever been in your entire life.
I want 45 to be a year that I re evaluate every thing and every person I am involved in/with and put all in its proper place of importance and priority. Anything that doesn't serve me must go. Anyone I have out grown will be loved and released. Anyone I need to love must be brought forth. Anything I want to do I must find a way to do it. I can't wait forever for all I want to do and for all those I want to have or not have in my life. Forever doesn't exist for us here in earth suits. It only exists for our Soul and Soul tells us to live a well rounded, fruitful, adventurous life here in these earth suits but to not count anything as forever. Therefore...re evaluate, prioritize and keep moving forward in all that YOU want for YOU.
45 is half of 90 and I'm only 5 away from 50 and that's half of 100....THAT is insane to me.... perfectly insane. I want to continue to be a completely perfectly me BEING and I want that for you too. Life is good. So good and far too good to waste.
WOMEN over 40 listen here. I see you. I adore you. I am rooting for you. I am your biggest cheerleader, know this. EMBRACE, beware of all the traps that you do NOT need to fall into in regards to "not aging, anti aging...blah blah blah. FUCK that shit. Be still. Be real and BeYOUtiful while you do it.
KNOW that you are magical, know that you have power ,know you are strong, know you are beautiful and own that you are in fact a GODDESS.
Be Blessed, be happy, be YOU!
