Last night I went to C.A.C.E. and celebrated being 40 before being 40. It was a blast being with my friends and telling them about this project. I've known Cynthia, Anna and Emily for almost 5 years, ever since we started MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) together. In 2008, we started getting together for craft nights where we would sit, talk and craft at someone's home. We talk about family, life, MOPS, where to find the Chai Tea at Costco.....important stuff like that. But last night, we talked about how we could all make a difference by doing little things here and there. Everyone came up with ideas for my 40 days project. Beach clean-up, stamping cards at the Senior Center or local orphanage, helping the troops that are overseas, collecting jackets or blankets for a woman's shelter. There were so many things that took a little bit of effort to make a big impact in the world. I have to be honest, I'm nervous about this 40 day project. I don't want to fail. It's a lot to take on, but I really want to do this. It's kind of like saying world, thanks for putting up with me. I soooo appreciate you. Okay, just kidding about that last part, maybe. So, I guess the next step is to take out my calendar and start planning the 40 days. I think I'll call a few more friends to help out too. I would love to go on this journey with them too.
