What I'm about to relate might not have happened for the Gen Xers and so forth, but, if you're like me, a woman in transition, then, you can and will relate. I wondered after a series of personal events that sent my comfortable lifestyle spiraling out of control, "What's to become of me?" I had lost a job I'd become comfortable with for the last 20 years... A husband who soon would become an ex...grown children who felt obligated to leave the nest to follow their own path in life...

Leaving my comfort zone where I'd become wife, mother , career woman/caregiver for others would become devastating, lonely and preplexing for someone not used to living life alone. I remember crying, asking God why I had been forsaken...What was my destiny? Remember Forest Gump? I was a female version in every sense of the word...

Years passed and although I'd found a new job, began to meet new people, outside of the ones my ex and I shared, I felt incomplete, that something was missing. I began a spiritual journey of truth seeking by talking to this obvious higher controlling power that mere human that I was could only conceive of..."God, what is my purpose for being here?

At work, I spent time actually talking and listening to the voices of other people with like minded questions. I offered advice as a friend to women seeking answers to their own feelings of discontent in living everyday existence. Having gone through the journey of finding myself, I began to relate my life experiences...encouraging young women to go back to school, get educated...older women to follow their dreams borne of freedoms from childhood enthusiasms, be it photography/ nursing...a young man with the mindset of a child to display his beautiful art/creativity for all to see...

I began "Women In Transition" for other women and yes, men who might be motivated to do great things...to find the meaning for their own existence. In my quest to find my reason for being, I've since discovered my "Passion"... It is a thing that makes me whole, happy, humble and bring joys immeasurable to this journey into the second half of my life ...
