When I was a young girl, I dreamed of life as a psychologist, writer, and business owner. When I headed to college, I believed I was taking my first big step toward living out my dreams. A popular life anecdote proposes: you make plans and God laughs. I must tell you, my life path has not mirrored those childhood hopes.

 

Twists, turns, and defining moments manifested God's plan into what is this journey of mine — a life that, though not the one I had dreamed, has been one I could never have imagined. It is clear for me to see how those dreams of my childhood served to form the core of my being.

 

After 25 years as our chief family manager, my role came to an abrupt end when our youngest left for college. I still remember my panic: what am I going to do, now that our kids are gone? It dawned a period of lonesome uncertainty.

 

While we quickly settled into being empty nesters, I quietly sensed something was missing. Feeling insignificant and invisible, I was stuck and unfulfilled. I understood my life was calling for a change and I needed to take action to rescue myself. It was time to make a bold move.

​

At nearly 60 years old, I chose to prioritize myself, to reconnect with the woman I was — before being defined by labels, titles, and roles — and to do something personal that solely centered me and my dreams. I returned to college, graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Creative Writing, and confidently refreshed my life. I've been making bold moves ever since!
