Are You Turning 40 and Looking for a Profound Life Change?

Have a great day!

On this Christmas Eve morning, sipping my cup of Seattle’s Best by the DVD-provided fire, I continue reading Yesterday I Cried by Iyanla Vanzant. And because I can’t say it any better, I had to share her exact words:

There is something magical that occurs when a woman turns 40. She becomes more attractive in a sensual and seductive way. It’s not that her body gets better, but I think she becomes more comfortable with her body and learns how to maneuver it better. At forty, a woman’s eyes begin to sparkle. Not with lust or excitement, but with wisdom. She has seen some things, done some things, and learned some things that show through her eyes. At forty, although there are things on a woman’s body that lie down, at the same time, other things stand out. They become clear. A forty-year-old woman finds her voice, gets her vision and her footing. When I turned forty, I became too old to try to be somebody else, so I stopped trying.

So whether you’re turning 40 in the upcoming year or it’s been a decade or more since you reached that milestone, now is the time to celebrate who you are, where you’ve been, and where you’re going. I want to say this is my gift to you, but it’s really your gift to yourself.
