(written to myself on my 39th birthday from a favorite place called Enchanted Rock. Last month, I turned 49, gonna write a letter for the big 50)

Dear Shari,

Happy 40th Birthday!  

Congratulations, you have just had the best year of your life! 

You have finally found the secret – that you are in control of your attitude and that your thoughts create your words and your words create your reality and form your destiny.  

You are not a product of your circumstances or your environment – you create those things with the power of your tongue.

You have a childlike faith that God is so pleased with.  You walk by faith, not by what you see or feel.

You are an honorable wife – a truly virtuous woman – worth far more than rubies.

Your children rise up and call you “blessed”.

You make people feel so special and alive and inspired to become so much more and go after their dreams!

Thousands of people follow you because you have what they want and they know you can help them!

You have meaningful friendships with your family and a few close friends.

You have gone to Hawaii and Belize and blessed people.  (I made it to the first in this time frame, but not back to Belize)

Your body is fit and energetic.  Your face and skin look healthy, peaceful, rested and happy.

You are moving towards your destiny; you are a woman of faith that dares others to believe that with God, ALL things are possible.

Your dream of a healing oasis is becoming a reality.

You use your time wisely investing it for eternity.  You are grateful, not griping and you lift people to a higher level.

Sincerely Yours, 

Shari
