When I was younger, I associated turning 40 with all sorts of negative things. I thought my 40s would be all about menopause, financial stress, and personal issues.
I loved my 20s and 30s, but I'm ready for what's next. Looking back, my 20s were an absolute blast. They were full of travel and adventures - and a few misadventures, too.
