EDITION 04: ON AGING, GRATITUDE SZN, & ELITE LINKS!

TL;DR

ON AGING

Today, I woke up another year older. Yes, in true Sagittarius fashion, I’m announcing my birthday to my entire mailing list.

Age is a funny thing—I feel equal parts 26 and 106, fluctuating between the two—and everything in between—often. I think age is simply a ledger of experiences, and with each year we log, we dip in and out of different moments and aspects of those experiences.

I’m a dancer, so age was something I became acutely aware of early on. At like 10, I was told I was getting old. Yes, 10! That was the age when I had to decide if I would enroll in full-time ballet school—a point at which you need to choose your path. I didn’t choose that path.

Throughout my professional dance career, age was always something I encountered, either through external reminders or by noticing how my body shifted—both in what it could still do and what it no longer could. Over time, as I shifted from the youngest cast member to the performer who 'showed you the ropes,' I began detaching from the significance of age.

When I was in my 20s, I never imagined I’d still be dancing in my 40s. While my legs don’t bend as shockingly far as they once did, there’s now space for wisdom and experience to emerge—something that would’ve competed with the tricks of youth. I’m still delighted and surprised by what my body can do, and I credit my yoga and mindfulness practice for giving me both the physical longevity to continue and the grace to meet and release what is no longer available. 

As I move into another revolution around the sun, my hope is to celebrate longevity—not in the tech-bro "live forever" sense (that sounds awful), but in the way that we honor all of who we are—our past experiences that have brought wrinkles to our faces, the lessons that led us to make choices that shaped where we are today, and the possibility of all we will become—to build a rich life experience. A colleague once told me, “It’s about the long game.” For every “30 under 30” list, give me “50 over 50”; now that’s much more interesting.
