How many of you are like me, just going through life, loving every moment and then all of the sudden something happens that changes your life? That was me when I hit the Empty Nest stage of my life.
I truly love being a mom! As a little girl, my dream was always to be a wife and a mom. Yes, there were frustrating moments but as a whole, I loved everything about it. I loved the busy-ness, the friends, the activities-everything.
Then all of the sudden, I realized my kids were grown. Now what?! What did that mean for me? Who was I if I wasn’t taking care of my kids/family??
Maybe you can’t relate to that but maybe you’re a mom like me that CAN relate to that. So what does that mean from here?
The empty nest stage was my wake up call. I realized that the years were flying by-20 years passed in the blink of an eye! I loved every minute of being a mom but I was caught in the typical cycle of working because I needed to help support my family. I became acutely aware that time was only going to continue to speed by and I didn’t want to miss any more moments with my family.
It was in that moment that I began the journey to change how I spent my time and to gain the freedom to enjoy more time with my family. It was not an overnight journey and it has had it’s ups and downs but each step gives me confidence to keep going. I’m exploring options now that I wouldn’t have considered several years ago. Someday I’ll tell you about them.
If you are facing the Empty Nest Years (or any other life change), and aren’t sure what is next, I can relate. It was the Empty Nest Years (and all the lovely middle age health changes) that led me into the world of natural medicine and life coaching. Both of those things drastically changed my life!
