Woke up thinking about Carmel and my experience with @linda_sivertsen - the Book Mama herself.

Feeling very grateful for all of it and the friends I made. I had no clue the world I would be opening for myself. For example, I have now clocked about 350,000 words on two book projects and am waist deep in editing. I didn’t intend to have two projects but here we are.

I have also met some of the most amazing women who are so very supportive. I have really big dreams in my heart that I had to put on hold to take care of my health but I am catching my stride again and just wanted to say THANK YOU FOR HOLDING SPACE FOR ALL OF US DREAMERS AND DOERS OUT HERE! ♥️😭🙌🏽

A big thank you for yesterday’s flurry of bday love. 🎂🥰 My family just drove off and I’m so sad/happy/wiped. I hate goodbyes, even when I’m going to see them in days/weeks. It’s such a blessing to get older with people and pets you love so much you could cry—and often do. 🥹 Thank you thank you thank you thank you for another year. xo PS. That OLD AF hat at the end? Yep, from the same brother-in-law who brought the “You’re really old now” cake from yesterday’s pic and BookMama blog post. (Of course, sister counters him w/the Wonder Woman card.)🤪 I’d kick his as$, but he’s older than me and I don’t wanna hurt him. 😉Image attachmentImage attachment+6Image attachment

It’s here! My Diamond Jubilee! The day I feared would never come. 🎂😬 OMG, Hi! I love you! I love everything right now. It’s 5:00 a.m., and my family is all here, and I’ve been dive-bombed by 6 dogs (the other 4 are around here somewhere, still asleep), and I’ve just officially outlived my mother. 🙏

I MADE IT. I’M ALIVE. I’M SIXTY. I’VE NEVER LOVED A NUMBER MORE IN MY LIFE. 

I didn’t fully realize the weight I’d been carrying until I saw my GIDDY smile. I was just now brushing my teeth after dancing to the sink from the toilet. Did I just hip-hop my bedhead? Yep. And I looked pretty fucking cute doing it, too.

My mama never made it past 59. Her mother died at 49. You could say that the idea of not making it to the big 6-0 has been haunting me for ages. 

But not today. Join me on today’s blog for a diamond of an ah-ha and a writer’s confessional about what I didn’t expect on this oh-so-big birthday.
