Turning 60 has not been about “getting older.” It’s about stepping into the fullness of life with a clarity and confidence that only time can bring.

Over the years, I’ve learned to let go of what doesn’t serve me—the unnecessary worries, the expectations of others, and the constant need to prove myself. These burdens have fallen away, leaving space for what truly matters: joy, connection, and authenticity.

Family and long-lasting friendships have been my greatest gifts.

This is for all of you.

I am surrounded by countless blessings, and I give thanks to you—my tribe.
Your presence has made this journey bearable.

The simple act of being at the other end of the phone is priceless.
I have appreciated your check-ins, your care, and your love.
You are angels in human form, and I’ve felt your wings in every encouraging word.

Thank you for listening when I needed to speak, for offering me your time and your heart.
Your support has led me to a place of joy.

It is an honor to have you as co-celebrants in this journey of life.
You’ve restored my faith in humanity and truth,
And reaffirmed my belief in God, without whom none of this would be possible.

Through you, my strength has been renewed, and by God’s grace, I am still standing.

At the end of the day, always speak your truth.
Thank you for the wisdom and strength your love has given me.

Each one of you represents a reason why I am here today.
I love you all and will forever treasure your presence.
You’ve made this shared journey not only bearable but truly wonderful.

Thank you.

And remember: sixty is for thriving.
