46 in 2013: Taking On The World<\/p>\n

This Life gig? Why did I worry? It turns out I’ve got it down pat.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Working? New programs and presentations. Been there, done that, and published along the way.<\/li>\n
  2. Teaching? One-to-one, each relationship develops and blossoms with discpline and wonder.<\/li>\n
  3. Love Life? Fabulous sex. Been there, done that, doing more, more, and more.<\/li>\n
  4. Travels? Passport updated, luggage-to-go packed, car gassed, plane trips scheduled.<\/li>\n
  5. We’re all healthy and happy, squabbles and daily worries rolled into our immense joys.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So, 40 was hard when I could only hold hands, hum favorite songs, show pictures, and whisper memories<\/p>\n

    when losing first my father and then my dear friend. Both had gone too young, and I did not want to follow at only 40,<\/p>\n

    so I breathed in then out over and again. Determined, each year I grew playful. I became younger.<\/p>\n

    Wandering, getting lost, gasping at new sights while undeniably lost, I’d always find my way back.<\/p>\n

    Worries came, but I threw them onto passing winds. Here I am: 46 now, ready for new days into years into decades.<\/p>\n

    Yep, this Life gig? It’s not so hard after all. Watch out, World! I’m coming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
