So many times, when something good happens to a friend, I find myself thinking, “Good for her,” and behind that comment are the thoughts, “That could never happen to me.” “Things like that don’t come my way.”
I’m not one of the Lucky People that get the “dream job” the “fabulous man” the “perfect child” or whatever the issue is.

I am taking care to keep looking inward. I know I have to. The answers to my Life Questions are not on Access Hollywood. They are embedded in a deep part of my ever-seeking soul. I just need to take the journey to find them. Let’s Journey Together!
We all go through major life transitions when relationships end… Through this website, I will share my thoughts as I walk the path of “New-Self” discovery. It doesn’t matter which side of 50 you are on. The real question is, Are you ready to live life? To forge a Path of Your Own Making (For a change!)? Then stop dwelling over the What-Might-Have-Beens and join me. Share your thoughts here, comment on mine, and let’s do this together!
