Why 40 Lessons of 40? Because I turned 40-years-old on April 25th, and have found that many approach the gift of aging with fear and shame. These are lessons I have learned in forty years that helped
me to live, to laugh, to love, and to cope with loss. I hope they help
you to see that the true fountain of youth is the satisfaction and
inspiration you get from growing older.
