Days before her 40th birthday, a woman decides to fulfill a lingering wish still dangling from her childhood, setting out on a plan of action that illuminates the "little" world around her.
what is the wish? what's the "little world"? what's so important about realizing it? how does her life change as a result?

This is a tricky one - I would not want a story about mid-life crisis, and a point of no return of growing up/old. That's what this suggests, but it's an old story.
Have to think about this one for a while....
I don't have precisely the idea, but it is something like those Russian nested dolls. I think she lives, not in the smallest one, but somewhere in the middle.
Sharon built a scale model of the entire world (took a year) (probably wasn't that acurate). How could she know enough? Do you expect Sharon to be God? Well she smashed that model, so now it's moot. She finally said it's time, and she married that clown. The idea of the big picture means little to her now and she smiles when she sees the big red shoes by the door.
She wishes to live her life again, but backwards, so each moment as she grows older, externally, she is growing younger in spirit. With each day she regains the exhuberance of youth and becomes an inspiration to everyone. The older she grows, the more she shines.
Gee, it takes me a long time to think.
