40SC HQ Sisterhood Series Challenge May: Honor the Journey (May 08, 2026)

Fri, 08 May 2026 05:00:00 GMT

Welcome to the Sisterhood Series Challenge! May's theme: Honor the Journey

This year-long experience was created for one simple reason: none of us were meant to do life alone.

At 40 Something Cowgirls, sisterhood is the heartbeat of who we are. It’s showing up, lifting each other up, caring for ourselves and our communities, and choosing connection over isolation.

Each month, you’ll be invited into a new, optional challenge focused on encouragement, reflection, service, and growth. No pressure. No perfection. Loud or quiet, public or private — it all counts.

May Sisterhood Series Challenge – Honor the Journey

May invites us to slow down — not in our riding, but in our perspective.

Behind every ride, every horse, and every step forward… there’s a story. This month’s challenge is about recognizing where you’ve been, appreciating how far you’ve come, and honoring the horses and women who helped shape your journey along the way.

Participants are invited to spend intentional time riding, working with their horse, or simply being present at the barn while reflecting on the experiences that have helped them grow.

You might share:
✨ A horse that changed your life
✨ A lesson learned the hard way
✨ A “then vs now” moment
✨ A ride that reminded you how far you’ve come
✨ A cowgirl who impacted your journey

Photo ideas:
Old vs current horse photos, meaningful rides, quiet barn moments, or riding with your sisters. Remember — real stories matter more than perfect photos.

Ready to participate? Register for the May Sisterhood Series Challenge in the Wild Apricot app, then share at least one photo and your story in the 40 Something Cowgirls Facebook Group. Be sure to include your state or tag your local 40SC chapter in your post.

This month’s affirmation:

"I honor where I’ve been.
I respect the lessons I’ve learned.
I carry them forward with strength."

Photos shared for the challenge may be featured on 40SC social media as we celebrate the journey together.
