the final month

Well, today is July 1 2016 which means it's the final month of my 30s decade. Never to go back, never to repeat. Nearly done - ten years just like that. How am I feeling? Ecstatic quite honestly. My 30s, as much to show for on this blog since I started it when I was 33 years old, have been incredibly incredibly hard. While some of that was met with great reward, as most difficult things in life wind up being, it was still hard. I learned and grew so incredibly much it feels like I should be turning 60 in many ways vs 40. All that to say - I'm incredibly grateful for the lessons and the growth and I'm also incredibly grateful this decade is nearly behind me.

As I move into my 40s much wiser, much stronger, much more chill I can't wait to see what lies ahead. If this past month is any reflection of what lies ahead I'm beyond excited. For the first time in a long, long time it feels like all the parts are finally clicking and life is really really good. The energy of my new house and neighborhood are night and day to my first house in Austin. The connection I feel to Austin is growing by the day - I truly love it here and know this is where I belong. The friends I've made since moving to Austin are truly wonderful. The work I've been able to cultivate locally is some of the best work I've ever done since setting out on my own. The second business I co-launched is on the brink of something BIG - I feel it in my bones. The person I've become since going through the Hoffman Process in March is truly remarkable. The incredibly kind, funny, smart and sexy man I attracted at the bbq stand has been such a breath of fresh air and so welcomed by my spirit. The way I feel in my mind, body and spirit is in sync.

So if this is any indication of what's to come at 40 - I say bring it on, NOW! So the countdown begins. I'm sure before I get there I'll wrap up my 30s with some headlines or key lessons learned as I think I would enjoy that reflection and as always maybe it will help one or two people who may read it. Until then, I'll be living out my 30s in style as I enjoy all that is incredibly good in my world right now, in this very moment.
