Getting Started

I'm a big believer that if you want to do something, do it big and have fun with it.  It's probably why most people who know me will attest to the fact that I tend to run toward challenges and face them head on. I leave little unresolved.  I find that God consistently puts the people and resources I need at that moment, in my path.  I also think that's why I've been lucky to have so many wonderful friends in my life.  They are perfectly placed there by a reason much bigger than me.

Well, that all leads me to today.  13 months away from turning 40.  This means I'm in the danger zone of all my friends turning 39 and 40.  Which means the topic of conversation for many of us these days starts with "Seriously, 40?  How did that happen? Why is it so close? Dear Lord, my life is over."  Rarely does anyone seem excited about it. I mean, we made it on this earth for 40 years-- and we have a lot to show for it.

I decided, in typical Jennie fashion, to be the exception.  Yes.  The big birthday is looming, but if I spend the year prior to it establishing how I'll take care of myself in the next 40 years, then I'm guaranteed to enter the big 40 with a smile.  And, it means I'll hit my goal of being a hot 40 year-old.

See, I've always joked about being a hot 40 year-old.  And, that extends to my health, my emotional state and the experiences I've had in life.  It helps that so many celebrities are turning 50 or older and they look incredible.  It's proof it can be done. So why not me too?

Now, of course my resources are not as great as those in the celebrity world, but I am blessed with a wonderful network of creative friends and a wicked imagination.  I'm calling on all of them to make this a great year of growth, experience and success. Thankfully, they are just as game as I am.

So that's the point of this site.  I created it so anything I learn on this journey can be shared with others who might be facing similar challenges.  You'll see the navigation will show you the details of my challenges, reflection points, the amazing people on the journey with me and resources that I'll be using throughout the quest.

Thanks for joining me on this site and I hope you'll pick up a few tips, as well as share a few tips along the way.  Hottness loves company.  Have a great day!
