I have a new perspective on turning 40 in recent weeks. A 39-year-old woman in our small Wisconsin town just died after a valiant battle with breast cancer. She leaves behind a husband and two sons, one in his teens, one in first grade. In her honor and the honor of so many women who were not blessed to reach 40, I will embrace my 39th, my 40th and each year I'm blessed with on this earth. No complaints about aging allowed! Consider the alternative... I will turn 39 this year, and have more friends who are 40 than friends who aren’t. I have a new perspective on turning 40 in recent weeks.

It was fantastic for all parties involved. I even helped many of them comfortably get involved with fetishism. I reffered to them as older women. Sure there are other socially recognized terms now but really it's just slang. Cougar is just a popular term for an available older woman. The word is irrelevant, it's the concept that people ought to either be for or against. In this case I'm for :).

Second, be nice to well wishers, take names, notes, smile, don't be vindictive, let it go. Get new cards printed. Update your wardrobe and yourself. Third, network like crazy and start deciding what you *really* want to do, make a plan, then go after it with fierceness and persistence. Success is the best revenge.

It was incredible how people become unfiltered in voice and touch when a pregnant belly comes by. Trust me - I have a total filter when I talk to pregnant women today. It is so important to be mindful and not like the expert just because you had the same also experienced pregnancy as a coach, husband, or carrier! Every pregnancy is different and life changing. Support and congratualtions is all pregnant women need! I am the friend that Rosie is referring to in that email and she was telling the total truth.

In relationships and in life. I'm with her. As the first month of 2009 comes to a close, I realize that I AM taking up more space in this world and it feels empowering. Tuning out media and tuning into myself has proven to be the best diet I've ever gone on. I second Rosie and Amy:
