A message from the past

On the blessings of getting older

This week, I’m turning 58.

Recently, I found a letter my mom wrote to me, titled “Blessings of Turning 40.” What stopped me was this: she wrote it when SHE was 58.

So here I am, at the same age, reading her reflections across time… and noticing what lands differently now, especially after losing her just a few months ago.

In this short episode, I share her letter in full, along with a few quiet realizations about what this age is actually offering.

There’s also a simple writing prompt at the end, if you feel like opening to the blessings of being you right now
