My first thought at turning 39 years old was that I’m almost 40. And I realized that’s a shame, because 39 is still its own year. It’s not a holding period. It’s not a doctor’s waiting room. It is its own year that will have its own adventures. My One Word for 2024, my 39th […]

Turning 38 Years Old & My One Word
I turned 38 years old, and I have been trying to figure out how I feel about that. It feels like an in-between age with an added sense of urgency. Thirty-eight isn’t a milestone birthday like 35 or 40. It feels like just another year. Yet it’s close enough to 40 that it also feels […]
