Fifty.
I used to think milestones were about the number. Now I know they’re about the meaning.
At 50, the greatest lesson I carry is this: BE GRATEFUL ALWAYS —not because life is perfect, but because God has been faithful through every season. Through the prayers answered quickly… and the ones that took time. Through the breakthroughs, the heartbreaks, the detours, the healing, and the quiet moments that changed me.
I’m grateful for my family, for the people who stayed, for the ones who taught me, and for the love that has held me up when I felt tired. I’m grateful for my body—imperfect, resilient, still showing up for me. I’m grateful for purpose, for second chances, for laughter, for growth, and for the privilege of becoming.
Fifty feels like softer edges and stronger roots. Less proving, more peace. Less rushing, more presence.
If you’re reading this, I hope you pause and name what’s good—right now, in this moment. Gratitude turns what we have into enough.
Here’s to 50—full of faith, full of heart, and full of thanks. 💜
