Grateful at 40

Grateful at 40 🎂.

I’m embracing this milestone with gratitude for the life lessons I’ve learned, for the trials I’ve endured and overcame, for the people who’ve brought joy into my life, and for the impact of my work on the lives and livelihoods of music creators around the world.

I am excited about my future and the opportunity to live fully in the outcomes of my handwork, sacrifices, and dedication. And of course, I am excited at the prospect that the universe will bring love into my life.

I’m ready. This is 40.
