Life is Made up of Boulders and Stones
The path in life is never straight. It's full of twists and turns and is littered with boulders and stones that need navigating. How you react to the path of life is the difference between staying in place or thriving forward. Today, I'm kicking the stones of great opportunity toward a new road named ‘the extraordinary life.'
I had a successful career in the media business through divorce, death, single-motherhood, job loss, and health issues. People thought I was a rock star -- I looked happy, put together, accomplished, and in love with life when inside I was desperately searching for more. My inner me didn't match my outer me. My life was messy and busy with everyday stresses and some of life's biggest challenges. I wanted to live for me and not for the expectations of others, but couldn't find my way. Then, the boulder of cancer hit me on April Fools' Day.
