I didn't write about turning 40 this year, but I do know the older I get the more I like myself, and there's nothing better than letting go of all that BS. Also, somewhere in my mid-thirties, people actually started listening to what I had to say.

I've played soccer for 35 years, and I'll play as long as I can, but oh my does my body hurt these days. I spent years wondering if my body was the "right" size, but I realized how silly that was. My body works, and it works well. Instead of worrying what others' think about it, I focus on how miraculous it is, and how to keep it strong.

Yeah to age, hey to greys! xo
