Welcome to my blog! Those of you that know me well are probably chuckling at the very idea of me and a blog. I decided that along with all the other changes in my life I might as well take the opportunity and step into the twenty-first century and I invite all of you to come along.
The purpose of my blog is multi-layered. As many of you know I recently relocated to Orange County after 8+ years in Murrieta. With this move Kevin and I became empty-nesters. Along with having my children gone I left behind a wonderful circle of friends. While I can no longer meet my gal pals in the morning for a cup of coffee I can certainly use this blog to stay connected, and that is my primary intention. I also want to create a community of women to exchange information and experiences regarding this very interesting time in our life. Some refer to it as “the change” while others call it the second-half or the empty nest. Whatever the label I find we are all facing it or about to face it and we need each other to navigate the choppy waters of this transition period.
I know I am faced with the feeling of starting over at the ripe young age of 49. After twenty years of focusing on family and home I had to ask myself what do I want? How will I fill my days and what purpose will I bring to my life and how? I want something I can be passionate about and deeply believe in…it can’t be just about making money and staying busy. These are some of the key questions I have been asking myself over and over this past year. I wonder how many of you are faced with these same questions and what are the answers you are coming up with. I would love for all of us to take this opportunity to share our thoughts and feelings using my blog.
This all seemed fairly overwhelming, but I have taken one of my first steps in the creation of my second-half. As some of you know I have started down a new path with an organization/product called Moxxor. I am very excited about the incredible health benefits of this unparalleled omega-3 antioxidant supplement, not only for women, but for our entire families. It is exciting to actually be creating something. I am working with a website/internet marketing strategist to develop my website and my marketing plan. I am focusing on two niche markets that are near and dear to my heart; children suffering from ADD/ADHA, Autism and Dyslexia. The second group I am focusing on are perimenopausal and menopausal women. I will keep you updated on my adventures and discoveries as I take on the challenge of birthing a new business.
I hope you all will take a minute or two and stay connected. I would love to hear all about what you are doing, reading or simply what you are thinking about these days.
