Wowee - a reflection on turning 50.

I don’t usually talk about my faith on social media, because everyone has different beliefs. But today feels different. I’m a believer in God, and His guidance has shaped my journey.

Whatever you believe in: God, spirit, faith, your own path - I encourage you to stay strong in it and let it guide you.

I’m not perfect. I’ve made mistakes along the way, but I’ve asked for forgiveness and forgiven myself so that I could find peace.

I’m so grateful for my amazing husband of 25 years, my children who inspire me every day, my family and friends who lift me, and a life filled with work I love — 17 (almost 18!) books and two podcasts that reach so many.

I’ve overcome self-doubt, fear, and the challenges of my younger days to become the woman I am today. I hold my head high, walk lighter, and give freely of my heart.

Here’s to 50 years of living and learning… and to the next 50 with love, laughter, faith, and gratitude. 💛🙏
