I turn 40 at the end of 2012, just months before the supposed 12/22/2012 prediction of the Apocalypse/Cataclysmic World Change…or whatever version of whatever prophecy you believe. Do I think the world will end? Not really, but I have to admit the recent rash of natural and manmade disasters got me thinking…what if? What if I turn 40- a decade I think will be empowering, amazing and freeing- and the world ends? Why not start doing all those things I want to do now, so I don’t have regrets…just in case?

So I silenced the inner ‘Debby Downer’- you know that voice that says ‘you can’t do that’ or ‘you don’t deserve that,’ and squashed the anxiety of ‘people will think you’re crazy.’ And I started doing the things I’ve always wanted to do: being blonde for the summer, finding a spiritual teacher, getting a rocking ass, building my kids’ clubhouse, etc.

I plan to continue and have encouraged others to start living their deepest desires. I mean, if you don’t do it now…then when?
