happy 40th birthday!

Tomorrow, Saturday, November 9th I turn 40 years old!

I’m looking forward to my 40s because I intuitively know it’s going to be a powerful decade!

Did you know that at age 33 I started The Non-Nine-to-Five, after having had 2 previous careers?  (I worked in the music industry and I was a teacher).
