Our past girl trips have been fun and fabulous, but I must say that this one was extra special. We just had a beach house, ocean and quaint little town. It was slower and we all felt a little softer I think. I fully believe each of us were not only embracing the next half of our lives, but really embracing eachother and what matters the most.
I heard that turning forty is kind of like a second puberty. It's another transition. Marking another season of our lives. We aren't young anymore, but youth is still embedded in us and we can dwell in that place knowing that we have grown and learned and that the years ahead are only going to get better and better.
I felt like we went to some vulnerable, tender spaces. We bonded our stronger and tighter heartstrings. We celebrated eachother, and connected through laughter and tears. I know we appreciate and love eachother in the highest level of friendship.
Perhaps 40 marks a more openness and coming into our own.
Settling in. Staying in the moment.
Being reflective on where we've been and where we are going.
And being okay with it all.
Embracing our true hearts. Our happys, our sads, our core personalities that have always been there from the beginning.
What a beautiful thing to have with forever friends that have known you from 30+ years ago.
Surely a rare and blessed gift like no other.
