Enjoyed your story, ha!, maybe because you write similar to me. Maybe I should start a blog, have considered it many times over the years. Anyway, I found myself “liberated” at the age of 40. Starting at ground zero, with nothing but my 3 kids, no degree, and needing medical insurance and something to cushion me in my retirement some day. I worked my tail off between a fast tract program for my degree, working 3 part time jobs, taking care of my kids, and then suddenly taking care of my mom. Many times during a 6-month period, I had only 2 hours of sleep each night. Definitely on autopilot but I still stayed positive and kept my goals in sight. 13 years later, I made another shift and quit that career that was ruining my health and had turned me sour on many things. Time to reinvent myself again. Wasn’t going the route of autopilot anymore. Today, I’m still giving to others all the time, enjoying those things, but I’m also taking care of ME. I spend time in nature, i listen to the birds, I pay attention to signs all around me, I have been focusing on my body pain and improving that. I am attracting abundance and joy.
Kathleen, look at you. Look how strong and able. I love this so much. My favorite is your last line, "I am attracting abundance and joy." How wonderful!!
Love reading Your story & I’m sure it resonates with a lot of working Moms that we put our lives on the back burner for everyone else. Mindset is everything! My Abuela lived to 103, so as I’m approaching my Fabulous Fiftieth Birthday, I’m looking forward to My 2nd Half Chronicles (100 years is good for Me lol)!
