Is there a way to restart your life?
At 37, I had the wind knocked out of me. Everything that could go wrong, did. It all fell apart! It felt like I was literally walking through sludge every morning. I dreaded getting out of the bed. I felt like totally giving up. To be honest, I did for a while, on the inside. Every effort to get back to my happy place, led to another let down.
About 10 years later, it hit me.” I still had goals, dreams, plans, and passion projects to fulfill.
” I remembered I wanted to return to school, write a book, and explore passions outside of my current job.
I prayed, gathered the courage to start again, and begin completing one goal after the other.
I learned so many powerful things during that time. Things that I wanted to share with the world, for healing and restoration, for becoming the best versions of ourselves again.
