40 Before 40: Lessons in Motherhood, Adulthood, and Being Human

By Heather Ward

One day you're a tomboy with a mouth full of crooked teeth.
Next, you're getting a "bite me" lip tattoo at eighteen years old.
Then, you're in college eating noodles out of a coffee cup while coping with brown bottle fever.
Fast forward and you're a single mom of two munchkins. They're your world, your chaos, and your solace.

Life, up to this point, has been a culmination of achievements, setbacks, realizations, and coming into my own self. The woman and mother I want to be and that I've fought to become. Through the dissipation and formation of relationships, experiencing the loss of loved ones, having unforgettable adventures, forging through unfamiliar territory, and witnessing the beauty and ugliness of humanity, I've learned important lessons about love, life, and purpose. Lessons I'm sharing with you all now.
