I turn 50 tomorrow and I'm freaking out a little.https://chellehoniker.com/vagabond-empires/

Here we go. Today's the last day of my 40's. I'm a little scared of leaving behind a label that lets me lean on being considered young(ish) But then I breathe and think, I've published 3 books. I went to Scotland last month for 3 weeks solo. I've had a successful business for two decades, and I'm not done launching big scary projects.It's just a label, right? RIGHT?!? **grabs paper bag to breathe into**

Yes, 50 is just a label. You'll survive and laugh about this later. Because there is still so much life to be enjoyed. Congrats on your accomplishments & Happy Birthday!

It is just a label! I'm about to turn 53 and I haven't noticed a difference from my 40's. "Old" is just a state of mind!

50 is fabulous! Look at all the success you have already had, so much more to come. I am enjoying my new empty nest, the time for passion pursuits and learning new things (like pickle ball). Grab life by the *ahem* balls and enjoy it!

Happy Birthday, Badass! What does "50" even mean anymore? I think you listed it out perfectly: accomplished, smart and fearless. And if you're like me, the waning estrogen helps immensely in the "giving zero f*cks" department. Welcome to the other side. xoxo

I'm so close ... 1.5 years away. I think maintaining the confidences to launch those "big scary projects" or life changes is key. Thank you for your post!

Honestly my 50s have been GREAT, so much better than 40s in so many ways. Life begins again, anew, differently. It's a great journey! I'm 57 (and a half haha).
