WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
In 2024 I started my life over from scratch at 60 years old. It was not something I ever anticipated I would need to do, nor that I would find myself all alone while I did it.
My marriage came to an abrupt end after 37 years. I moved three states and 1,000 miles away from the land and newly built home that I thought would see me and my spouse through our retirement years together.
Things did not work out as planned, and I had a rough awakening to the reality I'd been trying not to see. Things had to change if I wanted to find joy in Act III of my life!
So, I set out to do just that. Healing takes some time, though. Truthfully, some of it will be an ongoing process for the remainder of our lives. That isn't where we stop by any means! Even though we have these things to work through doesn't mean that we are stuck or frozen in time, holding all the hard things. That isn't all we've got!
Plenty of the good life is waiting for us to show up! All we need to do is remember the dreams we set aside while life was flying by and demanding other things from us.
What would you do if you could set all your worries aside and thing about yourself for a change? You might find it hard to think about yourself and what you want after years of neglecting or dimishing your own needs and desires for the benefit of other people.
It is time to change that way of thinking, and realize that you not only matter but are the most inportant person in your life.
I have discovered the secret to happiness.
Nobody else on the planet can care for you, have your back, or best interests at heart than you.
If you want to trust, love, and give the best life has to offer to anyone, it must be you above all others.
That may sound ridiculously selfish and you are fully authorized to be selfish, and I'll tell you why.
You cannot care and love anyone wholly and truly in this world unless you are ruthless in taking care of yourself like a friggin' queen of the universe.
You are the lmportant person in your life. From the day you are born to the day you die - you are who you will always have around to count on. When you take care of yourself the best first - you are able to give the best expression of yourself and your love to others in your life.
Show UP, girl! For you.
Make life great for you and then share the joy you created for your inner world with others around you.
That creates joy compounded, and it doesn't get any better than that.
This, my dear, is the secret to a happy life!
My Mission
I am here to share joy and lift other women who have experienced dramatic life change and challenge and are ready to rise again and design the next phase of their lives.
I do this through art, writing, and telling stories that can help other women. As your perspective, focus, and self-esteem improve, you start to see a brighter future.
I am not a guru, but a friend who has gone through some of the same challenges as you.
Personal experience is my certification of expertise.
Empathy and a sincere desire to help and share knowledge are my methods.
The more you believe in yourself, the world opens wider. You can reach abandoned dreams, live new adventures, bring ideas into reality, and try experiences that put a fire back into you.
Start choosing yourself today and each day forward. This is your time to live as you were meant to.
My vision is to help you realize the brighter future waiting for you, and give you the sparkto ignite your dreams and make them reality. So, hold on, we're just getting started!
