It’s been one and a half years since I lost my Valentine.
I’ve changed jobs and am now in the process of moving, which is downsizing to another house in a smaller town about 40 minutes south. I understand more each day that the life I thought I would live will not and cannot exist. I’m crafting a new life for myself out of necessity. In my late 50s it’s scary, but I’m pushing forward creating what I call Chapter 3.
Chapter 1 was unhappy single adulthood. Chapter 2 was meeting the love of my life, our marriage, and raising our two children. It was my dream life.
Now I find myself walking boldly into Chapter 3.
I don’t know what it will hold, but I’m a Christian, so I’m trusting God through this process. Other than God and good friends, Mel Robbins’ words of encouragement on creating the life you want for yourself are helping me through this process. You can find Mel on YouTube and on her Podcast. I stumbled on an Audible collection, “Here’s Exactly What To Do: Simple Tools For A Happier You,” and am really glad I did!!
So, I wanted to share this with you. Maybe it will help you, too!
