SO what’s this all about?
I celebrate my 40th birthday in August 2016 and while I am the youngest in the crew of all my friends and have enjoyed the many wild and crazy evenings over the past year spent with friends celebrating this now young milestone… it got me thinking how do I want to celebrate mine?
My husband let his pass with very little fuss a nice gift and a good meal, its just another day, another number and he still looks 30 so he could celebrate in another 10 years and people would believe him!
Well in my slice of this world, I have it all! In my mind I don’t need anything more, I love my family, my friends and yes I even love my job which offers a perfect work life balance and I have a great day to day life living in what I consider to be one of the best places in Sydney.
I would say i’m genetically gifted with volunteering, my mum and dad do it with ease ( my mum has an Australia Day award to prove it!) and my sister could organise her way out of a war zone without breaking a sweat, I have given 12 years to non-for-profits in my chosen industry, so now when reflecting on this milestone – what can I give now?
Well I will fill you in more as the details come together but I am paying my 40 forward to a project that is lacking in both funding and awareness and yes it is close to my heart, so lets see what we can achieve….watch this space!
Very eloquent. Very thoughtful. Very you. All worthy of celebrating!
