Intentional Gentleness

“In my 40th year, I feel like I’ve only just mastered the art of not being too hard on myself regarding what I feel I ‘should’ be doing.” -Casey Powney Taken from Louise Haywood-Schiefer’s artcle “I Accept Myself for Who I Am’: People at 40 on What Life has Taught Them so Far.”

This fall, I’ll be saying goodbye to my thirties. I’ll be ushering in my forties. So I started looking for different articles I can share that will be part of my transition into my forties. The quote I shared is from a woman who went on a quest to find 40 others who were born the same year as her. One of the women, Casey Powney, was among the forty she interviewed and shared her words of wisdom. This is what I have been working on for years, and I’d happily bring intentional gentleness into my future.

What are you interested in bringing with you?

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.
