40 at 40 Project…

As we get older, we can find ourselves reflecting upon the formative moments and people who have had a significant impact on our lives and helped to shape who we are today. The “40 at 40” project is something I started a few weeks after my 40th birthday in 2023 to send 40 directed expressions of gratitude to those who had a strong impact on me and my life over the years…and to do so before my 41st birthday.

If you are receiving one of these 40 messages—”THANK YOU!!!” Depending on when we were last in touch, you might not know what I am up to anymore, so if you want to see what I am up to now, please connect with me on social media (links below) and/or check out the homepage of my professional website (click the “Home” link at the top of this page).

I have thinking about doing this for well over a year now, but thinking and doing are two very different things. Life is short, and gratitude is something we should not wait to share with others.

I may add my reflections on doing the project at some point here or elsewhere, but in the meantime, to be accountable, here is my present project progress:
