Quotalicious - 40th birthday
It’s never too late to be what you could have been. ~ George Eliot
So, it's my 40th birthday today and it brings with it a swirl of emotions. Mostly I'm feeling grateful for the hope that I might even make it to 50, 60, 70 or beyond. Which is not something that those of us who have danced with the crab-footed fiend take lightly.
To celebrate this most expected and surprising of days, I've decided to gift myself the very most awesomest gift I can: the gift of owning my writer-ness. Publicly. This means a blog with my actual real name on it (stay tuned). And formalising my potentially-writing-for-publication-and-payment status with my employer. And getting myself a copy of the Australian Writer's Marketplace. And allowing that it's perfectly ok to meander down that path in a sedate fashion, balancing all the other elements of my life for the greatest possible JOY combination.
This is going to be a sweet, sweet year.

Quotalicious
Find a place (inside) where there's joy,
and the joy will burn out the pain.
