I am turning 45 in less than two weeks (gasp), which puts me securely into the path of middle age (yes, I plan to live until 90). Realizing that you have lived half your life can shake up a person. I started feeling as if time was fleeting a few years ago.

Those of you that know me personally are aware of my battle with early stage breast cancer. I fought and survived it back in 2022. For those of you who don’t know me, I was diagnosed in December 2021. I had surgery in January 2022 and then underwent 6 weeks of intensive radiation. I have been cancer free, going on 3 years now. Early detection saved my life- so ladies get those mammograms. But like any major illness or life changing event, it forces you to slow down. It makes you think about where you are at in life. You also consider what you still want to accomplish. I have always been an overachiever trying to travel and see and do as much as possible.

This is where my 50 before 50 list was born! I have many lofty goals for the next 45 years of my life. The next five years are nothing short of ambitious.

Check out my 50 before 50 page! Drop me a line if you have a bucket list you would like share or just to chat in general.

Cheers!
