I’ve started life over several times in my life. First in my late teens when my High School sweetheart died. Then in my late twenties with 2 toddlers after an 8-year marriage. Again, in my early 30’s when I remarried, acquired two children and had another one 10 months later (total of 5 kids). Still again in my early-fifties as an empty nester after 21 years of marriage. And this last time 6 years ago when I moved from Washington State to Maryland.
I think it’s harder when you’re older. Leaving my kids and grandkids on the other side of the country. Leaving friends and familiar scenery. Trying to make new friends in a new state at a new job is overwhelming. So, this blog is about finding my way. Finding a new purpose for me now that I’m done raising children. Discovering myself, finding a way to get healthy, creating a new network, and finding peace of mind.
