      <title>40SC HQ Sisterhood Series Challenge May: Honor the Journey (May 08, 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Welcome to the Sisterhood Series Challenge! &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;May's theme: Honor the Journey&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;This year-long experience was created for one simple reason: none of us were meant to do life alone.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Each month, you’ll be invited into a &lt;strong&gt;new, optional challenge&lt;/strong&gt; focused on encouragement, reflection, service, and growth. No pressure. No perfection. Loud or quiet, public or private — it all counts.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;May Sisterhood Series Challenge – Honor the Journey&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;May invites us to slow down — not in our riding, but in our perspective.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;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.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;You might share:&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Segoe UI Emoji, sans-serif"&gt;✨&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;A horse that changed your life&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Segoe UI Emoji, sans-serif"&gt;✨&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;A lesson learned the hard way&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Segoe UI Emoji, sans-serif"&gt;✨&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;A “then vs now” moment&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Segoe UI Emoji, sans-serif"&gt;✨&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;A ride that reminded you how far you’ve come&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Segoe UI Emoji, sans-serif"&gt;✨&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;A cowgirl who impacted your journey&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Photo ideas:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Old vs current horse photos, meaningful rides, quiet barn moments, or riding with your sisters. Remember — real stories matter more than perfect photos.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Ready to participate?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Register for the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;May Sisterhood Series Challenge&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in the Wild Apricot app, then share at least one photo and your story in the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;40 Something Cowgirls Facebook Group&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Be sure to include your state or tag your local 40SC chapter in your post.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;This month’s affirmation:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;"I honor where I’ve been.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;I respect the lessons I’ve learned.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;I carry them forward with strength."&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;Photos shared for the challenge may be featured on 40SC social media as we celebrate the journey together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;#40SomethingCowgirls&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;#SisterhoodSeries&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"&gt;#HonorTheJourney&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

              Easygoing, social, respectful, and fun. Expect campfires, shared meals, daytime exploring, evening hangs, and plenty of time to relax and connect. Come for the full stay or part of the trip—whatever works for you.&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p data-start="924" data-end="1041"&gt;If you’re a 40-something who loves the outdoors, good conversation, and a little cowgirl spirit, this trip’s for you.&lt;/p&gt;
