Celebrate Our Midlife Struggles, Or Give Up?

Celebrate Our Midlife Struggles?

We may be closing in on our final two choices: celebrate our midlife struggles or quit. The easy answer is obvious. The answer that may break us, begs for our attention.

No Dreams Come True If We Don’t Try, Fail, Try Again

Yesterday, Jack and I returned from Providence, Rhode Island…

It was fun to practice a speech in the Capital Building.

This morning’s post (below) had an intent you might have missed. Goals and dreams we have remaining are either:

Chasing childhood dreams later in life is so exciting at first, because, after all those years since we gave up (or postponed), we can refresh, renew and reclaim our passion to move forward and emerge victorious.

Except for one thing – a couple years back into it, we remember why it never materialized in the first place.

Time for your Mid Life Celebration?
