I am still trying to find my voice in sharing my journey through Empty Nest, as well as the personal development and discoveries I made about myself along the way.   I have so much I want to share and the steps I have taken to get to where I am at today, but struggling with how to get it out of my head and onto paper (blog) in a way that resonates and helps other through their own journey.

I am not one that looks “backwards,” but moves forward and this is part of the struggle for me — looking back where I was and how I got here.

While I think it is important to look backwards in a manner of self-reflection and gaining perspective, doing so to connect with those feelings of where I was is not something that is easy for me.  But, connecting to those feelings will help me with writing my journey from my heart – not my head!

I am a positive thinker, always see the glass half full (even see it ¾ full) I take action, move forward, but this was a time in my life, that I gave into having a pity party for myself – wallowing in grief, and fighting changes that were out of my control, and learning to let go and be okay with that.

So, the first step in self-discovery is giving yourself permission to go down the wrong road, knowing that sometimes you must do that in order to know which is the right road!  There are no mistakes, only lessons to be learned!

Laugh LOTS and Live BIG!
