40 for 40 

Woman

Hello Beautiful Flowers

So what is a girl to do when staring 40 straight in the eyes? Make a list of course! Thanks to some awesome suggestions from my Facebook family, along with my own ideas, I have compiled a list of 40 new experiences as I embark on my year of turning 40. My thoughts were to add things that hit all sides of emotional, spiritual, physical and mental growth. Some I am super excited about, some will require discipline, and some will require total surrender. This year, my one word (from the book – One Word That Will Change Your Life by Jon Gordon, Dan Britton and Jimmy Page) is AWAKE. I wanted to be fully AWAKE to get to know my new friend, Ms. Restlessness.
