Keeping up with the blog is not one of my better skills...it's an update!

I'll tell you what, keeping up with a blog is not easy.  Seriously, I am publicly taking back all of the not so nice comments I may have thought to myself regarding people who quit their "real jobs" to blog and then make good money at it.  Whatever.  It is what it is and I love what I do, so I won't be quitting my job for this blog....because really, what would I write about after I turn 40?? Turning 50- no thanks!  However, some really cool stuff has been happening in the 40x40 world and it's so much more fun to share.


I really have so much to catch you up on.  P!nk, The Color Run 5k, the Race Against Racism 5k, Celebration events, and an update on the bucket list.  The critics are all telling me that I am losing the followers by not having regular updates; I am just categorizing it as the scarcity mentality...keep you feigning for more!  Here's your fix............

I am not normally a birthday boaster; however, it's linked to the 40x40 as the main anchor event, so it's obligatory that I remind you that it's May 8th....yup, just 2 days away!   So, it's one of those years that isn't really conducive for feeling like your birthday is a special, super fabulous occasion.  No magical number and that's right people, my birthday is on a Wednesday this year.  The weekend before is just too early to celebrate, the weekend after it's lost it's luster, and really, as a grown up professional in the midst of everyone else's "end of the school year meltdown mode"  (those are just the adults!) I just can't afford to be firing on less than all cylinders Thursday morning.  The 40x40 birthday pay it forward event will be bringing the joy this year!

As you may recall, the 40x40 event for my birthday is a pay it forward in the amount of $40 sometime during the day.  I haven't decided yet what I am going to do....plan or spur of the moment?  One place or several?  Any suggestions for me?  I am not a stranger to pay it forward; I often just do it as the mood strikes me....normally my spidey social work sense is on...also known as divine discernment.  What do you think?  You only have more more day before I deploy the mission- comment here or on Facebook.
