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.
