Stand up and be Free before You're Forty

I'm wearing all of these clothes, still worrying about what they might say about me.
When all I really want to do is be FREE.

I hold all my curse words in because I really don't want to offend.
When all I really want to do is be FREE.

My life is mundane. I go to work, pick up the kids, go home, cook, and go to sleep.
When all I really want to do is be FREE.

People depend on me to do everything.
When all I really want to do is be FREE.

I see others experiencing new, fun things, while I sit watching and judging behind the scenes.
When all I really want to do is be FREE.


The news, negative spirits, peers, and parents keep me living in fear.
When all I really want to do is be FREE.

I live in a house with a white picket fence. I have rules, morals, and an image to keep.
When all I really want to do is be FREE.

Lust is real. Life is not perfect and no one can ever be.
Hello world. I'm forty. I'm fabulous. I'm FREE.

Don't wait until you're forty to be FREE. Start enjoying your life now. Love you first and do the things that bring you joy.

40 Friday-What you don't know about the forty year old woman.

Image
  When a woman turns 40 she's entering the no judgment, no bullshit zone. She doesn't care what anyone thinks about her, but her. She's fierce, free, fabulous, and focused. The things she put up with in the past she no longer entertains. Her goals have meaning and she's on a mission to make things happen. The 40 year old woman is reclaiming her youth and bringing a certain spice back to life. She's major competition to women half her age. What they do, she can do better. Her aroma is confidence. She exhibits self esteem that can't be bought. She stands in her true authentic self and states what she needs, wants, and desires. The 40 year old woman is a mystery. She's very unpredictable, yet adventurous. When you're with her you'll discover her wild side; an unaltered, fun, invigorating woman who experiences happiness to the fullest. Many wonder how she juggles her career, family, and dreams. They don't understand this i...

Thankful Thursday-She didn't say thank you.

Image
I've opened my heart and home to many, mentored; helped individuals start their businesses, consulted on writing books, and counseled people out of severe depression. Some were grateful for my assistance, others thought they were entitled to the help. However, I did it for me. I help others because it feels good to me. There is no greater gift than the gift of giving. When you give apart of yourself you are planted in the souls of many and your appreciation comes from God. This means you are really blessed and will be rewarded appropriately. Your harvest grows when you help others, nothing is ever done in vain. It doesn't matter if they never say thank you or appreciate anything you do. Keep your eye on the prize and do things from a stance of gratitude. Remember when you give from the heart the greatest things will come back to you. Now, sit back and give freely... Karlyn LeBlanc
