50 Trips Around the Sun

I love the quote:

“There are two great days in a person’s life: the day we are born and the day we discover why.”


I know I’m still discovering my why.  I’m pretty certain it has to do with helping people feel more organized.  I know it is.

I turned 50 a few weeks ago and it was all that I thought it would be but so much more.  A few years ago, pre-covid I would have wanted to travel to some far flung place for a girls weekend or some fun international trip with my family but that wasn’t possible this year.  Instead, I hosted a few friends at the beach for a polar bear plunge. With coffee and cardamom buns from my friend who is an amazing baker, we chatted and caught up and new friendships were made.  Only two of us actually plunged in the frigid Pacific Ocean but the others vowed to next time.  It was just as refreshing and invigorating as I imagined it would be.  A great way to start my 50’s.


Now that I’m 50, a few things I’ve realized are:

  • No one cares that I haven’t washed my hair in 3 days. Or can even tell.

  • To make my bed every morning. It really does make me feel better.

  • To drink as much water as I can.

  • That forever friends are worth more than all the money in the world. Truly. And no matter how much time has passed between visits or chats, it’s easy to just pick up where we left off last.

Here’s to hoping that all your birthday wishes come true in 2021! And f you or someone you know would like to work with me on setting goals and working toward them give me a call.
