Welcome

This blog is dedicated to our mind and the power to choose.

A Crisis in life is arriving where you spent your life getting to, look around and say, “Wait, this isn’t what I wanted“.

I write five different blogs, one each for Mind, Body, Spirit, Money (Career) & HQ (the paperwork of life).

In our lifetime, we get a few rare second-chances to rethink, reprioritize and recommit. Click here for more, or scroll down to get started.

Just Get Started, And Learn As You Go
Just Get Started, And Learn As You Go

When you feel like giving up, maybe this story will help you not to.

Mid Life Celebration LLC started out so small and insignificant in 2008, with a grand total of 20 posts:

  • 2 Blog posts in November
  • 18 Blog posts in December

Then, with New Year’s Resolution in hand, and firmly committed to do better, 2009 started off like this:

  • 3 Posts in January
  • 10 Posts in February

But something amazing happened in March and on April Fool’s Day (2009), I never looked back.

Never give up, never give in. Find your indomitable will, your purpose in life.

We Never See It Coming

October 18, 2010 (3 days ago)

Even though we know it’s coming, we never see it coming.

It’s the same way the caterpillar (as far as we know) never sees the butterfly coming.

Yet, it’s inevitable.

Mid life.

The caterpillar in this photo was lucky. As I was pulling weeds a few days ago, he almost got dumped into the yard-waste barrel for recycling. I set it free in the mulch.

Who sets us free in midlife?

How Cool Was That?

Ohhhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhh

Good Monday morning everyone. Not sure where to begin. So many thoughts racing through the cranium. Did you notice it, over the weekend? The change.

How did you remember 9.11?

It will seem trivia to some, and to others, it was major, and, drastic.

And it happened on a day in history that was major and tragic.

September 11.

9/11

After nearly 18 months writing 5-blogs-a day, everyday, I stopped, on 911, to pause and reflect.

More on this story tomorrow. Meanwhile, I’m heading over to Lane8.org to write today’s 2nd post.
