40 years ago, my mom was getting ready to welcome me into the world. She's never missed a beat in all that time. I hope I never miss a minute of Emme's. In some families, being raised by a single parent is a hardship and is others a blessing. I know whatever I learned, I learned close to home and can only hope to be as good a parent as she is to me. Turning 40 is my badge of courage. Similar to my Twenty-Ten post, I've accomplished so much these past 10 years that I really am celebrating me and the people who have contributed to my success. Together these strengths and weaknesses brought me to take a leap of faith into the arms of a Chinese baby needing a mommy to love her forever. From bad, comes good and from good comes great. At 40, I am enjoying life as mommy to a feisty four-year old. I don't know all the answers but I know the journey just continues from here

40 is a fantastic year. It's not just a new chapter in life, but when people embrace it, it's like a whole new book.

Happy belated birthday! That cake looks delish. I think I gained 5 lbs just looking at it. LOL!
Happy 4-0 to you! I just turned 40 in May and I have to say this is my best year yet (could have to do with *finally* getting my referral?) :)
LOVE the Princess photo of E. She is growing up into such a beautiful little girl. Love those long, curly locks - gorgeous.
