Let us first begin with our affirmation! I am me, I am capable and willing to move forward in this chapter of my life with conviction and living life to the fullest. This is a renewal of my spirit, my hopes, my dreams and my aspirations! I choose to grow and to wither. I choose to refresh my mind, body and spirit. I have done the deed of raising my family, etc. and perhaps now playing another role as caregiver of love ones, However, my dreams were not lost..... just simply put on hold!
Ladies, we have to know that any and everything we do starts at the top. The top meaning in our heads. Our motivation and passion for life MUST first start with the attitude that I can do this. Be it in starting a new business, starting a fitness routine, mentoring, community service or whatever it is that peaks your interest. Often times we are just afraid to "step out of the box"....out of our comfort zones. Well, that very box you're afraid to step out of can also become your prison. Of course we all have fears, the what ifs, however if we choose not to try, often times..... as time passes that fear then turns into regret.... and that regret turns into bitterness. If we are choosing to live more fulfilling lives, then we absolutely have to first get our minds right. I had someone say to me once that they were afraid to fly. Well, that in itself limited her for not traveling, not seeing the world. We at our ripe age.... are deserving of whatever it is that life has to offer. That feeling of fulfillment is the best medicine ever....you feel accomplished. Many of us, after raising our families are witnessing them raising their families. Often times however, there is still a feeling of emptiness but that doesn't have to be. I remember my own mother feeling that way. Yes, some of us have our beautiful grandchildren and we engage with them..... but there still is a need to do somethings simply for ourselves..... and to be an example for them. This once again can be the best chapter our lives. I encourage you ladies to first "get your mind right". Beginning Wednesday you will be introduced and inspired by Sheryl Boudy, my first feature story. Sheryl is a NOLA native, entrepreneur and Author of a popular cookbook . Read all about her journey and how she got started! "Come on ladies and "let's get our minds right"!
