Thank you, Kelly Rae, for putting my sentiments into words! I agree wholeheartedly that the third third of our lives is about coming back home, back to ourselves. We have given so much to others in our lives and now it's our turn to receive. I always dreamed of being a writer and telling my story. Now, in my late 50s, I have finally come full circle back to that dream. The writing life is helping me sort through the varied roles I have played and find the place where they all come together, where they fit in the me of today. It is a complex but rewarding exercise worth celebrating!
The way my body talks to me when it needs something. I finally have the time at 59 to be silent enough to hear it. It loves to tell me why I am amazing and where I have often, in my younger years ignored it. I don’t always appreciate its messages, like pain and stiffness but boy do I love how loud her voice has become. My body is brilliant at communication and I am learning to hear her.
