Thirty-Seven.

I turned 37 last week. And it seems odd. Not just because it is an odd number but I don’t think I should be this old. Sometimes, I honestly still believe that I’m in my twenties. I can’t possibly be trying to buy a house and settle down with my soon-to-be husband to try to have a baby. And yet, at the same time 37 also makes me feel like I’m showing up really late to the game. Almost like everyone has already gone home because the opposing team is up by 11 and there is no way that we are going to hit all these runs to win the game.

But there are big plans for this year and my main goal is to dream big. I listened to a podcast yesterday called Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She interviewed Ruth Reichel who gave the advice, “Always do what scares you most.” When you’re hesitant, be sure to take that leap, or even just the baby step.

Life scares me the most I’ver realized; so I might as well keep moving forward and make the best of it.
