This is the year, actually this is the eve of me turning 40. Yup 40. I don't feel a day over 25 but time and the calendar have conspired to prove me wrong. In the early idiocy of my 20's I thought 40 was ancient, now I'm looking at 80 as not really that old.

       I can honestly look back at the past 20 years of my life and say "what the hell was I thinking" and laugh about it. I count this as a good thing and I can honestly kiss her goodbye, thank her for all the life lessons and start moving forward on this new journey. Not to say that I don't have my share of what ifs or regrets but at this point in my life i am fully aware that there is no rewind button or time
machine that can take me back to change anything. So instead of changing the past I have chosen to embrace it all, and take with me the fearlessness of my 20's, the self exploration of my 30's and craft for myself a phenomenal decade in my forties.

      So in my quest of epicness ( yes I am making up a new word, I can do that) I have decided to stop sitting on the sidelines of life and start living it, as fully as I did at the tender age of 20.  Unlike my 20 year old self I am now a happily married woman and mother of 2 with a third on the way; so no globe trotting just yet or throwing aside my current life to trek thru the wilderness, no mountain climbing or drastic changes.

So what am I going to do to kick off this new decade..... I've got some ideas. One of them will be to quit pinning all the awesome things I want to do or try but to actually do them. For the next 365 days I will attempt to do one of the pins I have spent hours collecting, liking and posting.  I can guarantee that I will fail... possibly a lot... especially with the makeup tutorials, but I am sure there will be wins along the way.
