Kayti, I am exactly 10 years older than you, and aging can be complicated when you're in transition within your personal and professional life.

When I read that you're turning 34, I thought about when I was that age and all that's transpired in 10 years' time. What I can say about it is this: with every year and each new life experience, I have settled into a knowing that I didn't have 10 years ago or earlier. I won't say I'm settled inherently, as I am a restless soul. But I've come to terms with many things I never did before.

Congrats, too, on all the projects you are in process with! I hope to connect with you again soon.

I’m always so grateful for your perspective and advice. I look forward to the feeling of settling in. I think I’m on the cusp of it, but not quite there yet.

Hi Kayti, I’ve been following you for a little while, pulled in by similar experiences with infertility. I’m a few years older than you and we’re on year 3 of treatments with life throwing additional medical challenges at us. It’s funny how birthdays are often triggering and how even when dealing with something as heavy as infertility we can still find ways to be so happy.

Congrats on your second memoir! Thank you for urging new subscribers, I’m in now!

I’ll keep rooting for you and will cross all my fingers and toes that this year will be your best one yet! ❤️

*waves* Hello! I got introduced to your magical world today via the lovely Jenna from Letters of Everyday Romance, and when I'm writing this, it's your birthday I think, September 19th? I hope your birthday is unfolding in a way where you feel loved, seen and supported. ✨💕 Birthdays are an interesting anchor point and one where reflection always seem to happen for me. It can be so bittersweet at times, but like you, I also find myself in a season where I feel a lot happier, despite having had to deal with a lot of grief and things crumbling away these last few years. The sadness lingers yet threads of happiness shimmer like delicate rays of light in my world...ahh the polarity of life *flails* Not sure what I'll do this year as mine is approaching as well in October, but! I hope you get to do whatever your heart desires to do on your birthday. 🤗

Huge congrats on your second memoir!! I'm excited to browse your world a bit better soon, but going by what you shared here, I've no doubt that I will enjoy all my eyes get to see. Sending so much love and extra zen vibes your way! Ride the waves you feel you need to ride and may you continue to find threads of calm & happiness as you navigate all facets in life. ✨
