I cannot think of any other title for this week’s message than, “Holy Sh*t. I’m turning 50.”
Any different, creative, or eye -catching title just doesn’t resonate. These words are my reality and describe exactly how I feel. Holy sh*t. I’m counting down to May 16th, on which day I will officially be the big 5-0.
I’ve been reflecting a lot, like others do when they hit this number. I’ve thought of people I’ve known, the cultures I’ve lived in and my life changing experiences. Here is a clip of my personal memory reel dating back from 1970:
Donny Osmond, Luv-It Jeans, sleepovers, MTV, big hair, daquiris, LSU football, moved to Texas, started first big job, worked, worked, worked, single life, got married, got promoted, had baby, got divorced, worked, worked, worked, threw a grenade on my past, wrote a book about it, started a new business, started life over…..
As I read and review the previous paragraph, I can’t help but be bewildered by all of the events that transpired in 50 years and what brought me to where I am today.
But I know what brought me here. What brought me here is my purpose. Even when I was 7-year old girl, I knew that my purpose was to help other women achieve and succeed. I would fantasize about making a difference, being strong for others and standing by the sides of those who deserved the best. Why has it taken me 50 years to get here to fulfill my personal purpose? I had to live it first. I needed the time to experience life, get through the good stuff and bad stuff and all of the life events that formulate my message today. NOW, I can stand up in front of you, take you by the hand, and be the 7-year old girl I was meant to be.
I encourage you, and all women to get in touch their inner 7-year-old. It is the source of our core, purpose and plan. I’m built to help you find yours.
So, I welcome 50. I’m ready. I’m no longer counting down to the 16th. I’m counting up.

No No you can’t be 50 because that means I am getting older!!! I have wonderful memories of you and your sister when I babysat for you YEARS AGO!! what a beautiful and smart woman you have become. So proud of you!! Happy Happy 50th birthday!! Keep on celebrating
I LOVE this. I connect with it on a very deep level because I basically have (and always have had) the same life goal – just a different method. I love what I do and feel like my personal purpose in life is to stand by women and do everything in my power to help them have the courage and strength to leave toxic relationships that are holding them back. Being able to witness these women’s amazing transformations after the the darkness of divorce is such a huge blessing in my life, and every client I’ve ever had holds a special place in my heart. You’re advice is spot on – always follow your inner 7-year-old self!
