41
On Friday I turned 41. As a beach lover, and resident of South Florida, a visit to the beach was mandatory.
It was a very windy day, and the surf was turbulent. As I stood with my feet in the water, I questioned whether or not I should go in.
For most of my teens and my entire adulthood, I’ve challenged myself to be courageous. If something seemed scary, do it! As a little girl, I was extremely shy and often held myself back from doing things I wanted to do, or saying things I wanted to say. At a certain point in my life, I realized I had the power to change this shy persona, to be who I wanted to be, and create the life I wanted to live.
And that’s exactly what I did! I’ve done lots of big scary things in my life, and little scary things too, and I feel really good about the life that I have, and the person that I am, as a result.
