Transformation

As I step out of my comfort zone and trade my pen and paper for a keyboard and screen, I am both nervous and liberated. What better day to embark on a new journey than my 48th birthday?! This date brings forth different emotions as the years pass. My feelings have evolved from celebrating landmarks like 18, 21 and 25, to proclaiming what I have yet to acquire and what successes are to come. Each year I become more aware of how short my time on this earth really is. As health issues become more numerous among my peers, I am reminded of my own mortality. I don't fear death. What I do fear is the failure to show my children the importance of dreaming, setting goals, taking leaps of faith and living every day to it's fullest. I have wasted far too many minutes, hours and days. I am on a mission to make up for lost time. Thank you for journeying with me as I share snapshots of my life and realize a dream.
