New Life, My Life

"Life is ever so strange, it's so full of change..."~ lyrics from Jem

So simple, yet so true. At 29 years old, I have decided to take a road less traveled. Having created my own fate (unknowingly), I married at the age of 27, only to divorce barely two years later at the age of 29, I never imagined my life would take this turn off the "chosen" path. I'm learning that when your soul calls out to you, sometimes it's hard to ignore.

I've been an avid journal keeper since I was seven years old. Now that I am emerging from my shell, I thought it might be wise (or maybe just stupid) to blog my way into my new life. Maybe I'll have some followers, maybe not. At least I'll have my own online journal of my journey to self discovery, however boring it may be.

I've done a lot of research and soul searching during this period of my life and I feel the need to share it with people, women in particular who may or may not be on the verge of following a path out of comfort and fear. Fear of themselves, fear of failure, fear of the unknown. I'm not a psychologist (though it's extremely fascinating to me and I have considered becoming one). I'm not writing to tell others what they should or shouldn't do. I'm writing about my own life experiences and sharing my own faults and fears along the way.

So here I am. On the verge of turning 30 and starting my whole life over. I can't say it's easy, I can't even tell you I know where I'm going. I can tell you I have never felt more free and confident in my entire life! I'm not confident in everything I do you see. I am confident that I made the "right" decision in turning down this unknown path. This path of self-discovery. This path of learning who I am and not what others want me to be or think I should be. No, this is now ALL ABOUT ME :) and what this thing inside me, that I refer to as the soul, is talking about!

Maybe you have a story to share of similar experiences or advice or just want to vent about something going on in your life right now! I'm open to hearing stories, sharing ideas and learning about other people! Life is for learning as much as you can! Stay tuned and enjoy the ride :)
