If an alien were transplanted to earth, it wouldn't take long scrolling any social media platform to realize humans don't want to age. In fact, they will spend a lot of money not to look like time is passing. I'm encouraged by the way my friend Maryanne talks about how we can age in wisdom when the promise of eternal youth rings hollow. 

This topic is coming at such an amazing time for me. I'm turning 35 this year, and our season has very much shifted. We went from being the youngest wherever we went to now moms with just toddlers asking me what it was like parenting for me when my kids were "little." I feel like I had come to terms with that, but I still very much feel myself freaking out.

What encouragement would you have for me or women my age? When you look in the mirror... not how have you changed, but rather how has the way you've seen yourself changed over the years? 

What have your 40s revealed about what is important? How does it reveal who we are becoming when things we once defined ourselves by are stripped away? 

I think many people fear the way their marriage will shift as they get older. How have you seen marriage change as you and your husband have aged?
