Approximately 20,075 days ago I was born. In case you don’t have a calculator handy, that is double nickels AKA FIFTY-FREAKING-FIVE years old.
It feels completely bonkers because it doesn’t feel like that much time has gone by. Everyone I have met recently is in the 38-48 year range and that got me thinking about how much my life has changed for the better since my late 30s.
At 39 I started blogging.
At 40 I started teaching yoga.
At 41 I became a mama.
At 42 learned about invisible labor, domestic load & inequity in marriage
At 43 I resigned from teaching school and dove into teaching restorative yoga
At 44 I was a caregiver to my mom post stroke and my preschooler.
At 45 I hosted several yoga retreats.
At 46 I went back to school for my Life + Work Coaching Certification.
At 47 I started speaking on stages about self-care
At 48 I got paid to speak on stage.
