Another message she really wanted to send to the world through her tour? \"You’re getting better and better as you go, so long as you are open to the experience of growing and evolving,\" she shares.

\"Until we started the show, it just seemed like a fun idea to me to have a party all summer ... that it would be so much fun to celebrate my fiftieth birthday in this way,\" she shared.

However, she started to realize that her tour meant much more to people.

“I didn’t realize that in just being myself and being unafraid to say that to the world: I’m a woman, I’m 50 years old and I’m here, and I’m not going anywhere, was gonna mean so much to so many people,” she shares.

I am so grateful for every single moment we had during this party. 🎉 And what a rollercoaster of a ride it has been. ❤️ Here’s to always being our best authentic selves, loving and to making the whole world dance... again 😉. Link in my bio.
