I am still at the same Firm, now almost 17 years. I have made a new family in my friends and I have found a passion in people, life, food and wine, which became the inspiration for my blog 40-Something Life.
For those that don’t know, this blog was born out of another one I used to write about trying to find a husband. I always thought that this was what was missing from my life and being 40 was the end of the world. It turns out that as much as I would love to share my life with someone special, it is really not missing at all and 40 is another new beginning. I realized I was writing about life in general, friendship and my love of food and wine, which is something I now do every day. Nothing at all of what I thought was missing was really missing. My life is full, generally happy and filled with true relationships and of course I am still lucky enough to be able to fly back home to see my real family, which I feel blessed to be able to do.
I am so lucky to have amazing friends, a good job and something that makes me happy and that is writing my fun little posts for Life, Food and Wine I am truly thankful to anyone who reads and hopefully enjoys what I write about.
I am currently in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico enjoying the start of another new year. Last night just before midnight, we were all handed a basket full of grapes. I had absolutely no idea why. I soon found out that Mexico observes the tradition of the “twelve grapes of luck”, making a wish with each grape eaten. I made my twelve wishes and perhaps a couple of them are for you.
I wish all of you a happy, healthy and filled with joy and fun New Year!!
Very well said! Happy New Year and here’s to an exciting one yet to come!
I love my life, I love my husband and kids and I wouldn’t change it for the world.. but I have to say there’s certainly an appeal to being independent and self-sufficient and able to jet off to places far and wide. You have a life worth loving too. It’s wonderful that you can embrace that.
