Before turning 40...
We all have this preconceived notion of where our lives will be when we’re 40. Do we all get the life we want by the time we’re 40? Probably not. Too many life turns ago you should have done this when you did that and here you are… 40 and wondering how you got to be 40 without accomplishing your life goals.

Instead of resolutions on New Year’s 2008 I made goals for my 40th year. Resolutions are too hard to keep. But goals, definite goals I wanted to accomplish this year, those seemed more achievable. So I wrote down my goals and got to work on them, but I didn’t share them with you or anyone. I felt if I was the only one who knew what my goals were then I was the only one disappointed if I didn’t accomplish them. I tried to keep my list of goals reasonable and obtainable because I didn’t want to fail.

My goals for my 40th year were different than they were 20 years ago. Let’s face it, I can’t go back and re-do all the different turns I’ve made in life that got me where I am today. I can only move forward from here. “Keep moving forward…” Walt Disney’s motto has really inspired me this year to just keep moving on and make my dreams come true.

How am I doing on those goals you ask? Well, I’m on the cover of two erotic fiction books, I have an erotic fiction short story being published in one of the books and I’ve almost bought my first home. Those are just three of the goals on my list, there are still more goals to accomplish so I’ll keep moving forward.

Whatever your life goals may be before turning 40, marriage, children, owning a home, a rewarding career or running a marathon… keep moving forward.

Small miracles...
This week has been a week of small miracles… At this point I’ll take small miracles.

I talked to my property management company and they are going to let me stay in my rental until my house closes escrow. They actually let me cancel my 30-day notice. I didn’t know they would do that. So I still have a place to live! I can’t tell you what a relief that is. One less thing I have to worry about.

I received an email from my realtor stating that the Bank that owned my house I’m buying had finally ordered the final approval letter for the sale of my house. I think my heart skipped a beat when I read that email. I have to wonder… will my dream of this house really come true?

I found out that the erotic short story I wrote for the upcoming book 39… and Still Holding, the sequel to 39 and Holding… Him was chosen as one of four stories to be featured on the back of the book! This was the coolest news I’ve had in a long time. I can’t wait until this book comes out in print!

And finally, my lender informed me that I won’t owe more money when I sign the new set of loan documents. The loan documents I previously signed were now expired and still I’m waiting for my house to close. But at least I won’t have to come up with more money this week.

A little bit of good news goes a long way towards stretching patience that is worn thin.
