LEARN * SHARE * DISCOVER * CONNECT
In my mid forties, I entered a period of transition that continued for almost a decade. Circumstances, events, and change began to turn my world upside down. Though it felt intensely personal at the time, I realize now it is a universal experience among women at midlife.
My children began their launch and after a lengthy period of time caring for my elderly parents, I became a motherless child and a childless mother. My days lost their purpose and I lost a sense of where I was going and why.
I found myself worn to the bone by a lifetime of giving it all away, suffering from “compassion fatigue” which is a form of burnout, like many women do at some point in their lives. Time, rest and deep soul searching let me to the conclusion that it was time for me to learn how to nurture myself and rediscover who I was created to be.
I gradually created more space in my days for writing…a long neglected passion and over the next decade I learned so much about myself. I thought I knew who I was when I was thirty! But, I was mistaken. I, like you, are so much more than we could have ever imagined when we were young.
The most valuable and enchanting addition to my life are the plethora of women over fifty who have shared a similar journey of personal growth and transition at midlife and beyond. Together we have lived the created A New Way of Looking at Aging. We are living lives that are fundamentally different from those lived by our mothers and grandmothers.
We are ready and eager to take on new challenges. We are more confident than we ever imagined possible and are throwing caution to the wind to reach for our dreams. You will find us starting businesses, writing our first book, selling everything we own and traveling the world. Our generation of “seniors” is aging with an abundance mentality and an enthusiasm for doing those things we have up until this point only dreamed about doing. We believe in ourselves. We believe in each other. We believe that we have everything we need within reach and using the lessons we learned throughout life, we are aligning ourselves with our true values and tossing aside that which is without value. Above all, we are eager to engage fully in this chapter of their lives and share our journey with others.
I have created this website to offer my support to you and to any who are eager to face midlife and the aging process head on. It’s not always easy and a little help can go a long way! You will find articles by me and other specialists that provide information and food for thought on issues that are close to our hearts. You will also find service providers, all women over fifty, who I am happy to showcase. Feel free to contact them for their support as well. I personally am available on a limited basis for private social media, content and website development coaching.
Aging Abundantly is here to offer understanding, because we have been in your shoes, practical support, because we have learned a few things along our journey and emotional support because we know how important it is to have a cheering squad!
Together we can move mountains. Together we can change the world and leave it a better place for our children and our grandchildren. One by one, brick by brick, the women of Aging Abundantly, and those like them, are making a difference. You too can be a part of this exciting journey too.
We look forward to getting to know you!
