From 40 with Love, and thanks

November 10, 2019.Reading time 27 minutes.

When I was a teenager, I thought 40 was old, like really old! It’s apparently the big one, but is it really? I mean, what makes it big? Is it because we’re maybe half-way through the game? Because we’re supposed to be mature at this point with semi-grown up kids? Is it now that life […]

Strength in silence
