I often hear people say "fabulous at 40" and until I knew what that felt like I obviously shrugged it off. This past weekend I felt fabulous and not just because I was now 40 and "cancer free" but because of all the love I felt and saw in front of me. DNA linked me with many and long term friendships with others, but when the room was full all I felt was love. It was a night to remember, a night I'll never forget.
Throughout the party a lot of people spoke to me about this blog. Am I going to keep it going? Am I going to write more often? Can I recommend a good mascara? I laughed at that one! Apparently people think I'm a good read, how very flattering! The answer is yes I will keep writing and yes I can recommend you a great mascara! My journey is ongoing and writing has become part of my new normal.
There are some funny photos from the photo booth I had set up at the party linked on here. If you don't have access to Facebook or Instagram and want to see the photos be sure to check them out. I was laughing for quite a while as I loaded them up. Looks like people had a good time chuckling away with a funny prop be it Elton John like glasses or a furry boa. I can easily send you a copy of your photo too, just let me know!
Thank you everyone for coming from near and far. Ontario was well represented with cousin Crissy making a surprise guest appearance and of course all the friends and family from the GVA. I would not be 40 and fabulous if not for all of you!
XOXO
