Sixty.

So I’m turning sixty on July 3!

Sixty feels a little bit terrifying and completely impossible. Sixty doesn’t even make sense in my brain! And I kind of don't want to go it alone.

So I came up with this idea to write about one person a day for the next 60 days. Someone who touched my heart, or helped me out, or made a connection somewhere in my life.

Because I'm looking for a little connection these days. And a fun lead-up to turning 60.

Who knows if I can even keep this up for 60 days?!  Ha – I guess I’ll find out.
