After months of procrastination and late nights lying in bed, listening to the hum of the ceiling fan as I think of all the all the reasons why I can’t, why I shouldn’t, what will happen if I really did; I am taking a deep breath and sprinting towards the next step of my life. After nearly 25 years working in the public sector, I am spreading my wings. Not in the way most would imagine a women in her early 50′s though. I’m not hunting down that next big promotion or planning for the sure-to-come changes in State and Federal regulations that always follow a major election. Nope. Not me. Somewhere along the line a dream I had a long time ago rekindled itself. At first I thought it was just menopausal emotion or maternal nostalgia. I think my hubby hoped that was it too. No I didn’t want a baby!! I already had five thank you very much. But I wanted to give birth to my passions. Writing and restoring furniture. Giving life to my words and new life to furniture. After talking to other women who either wanted or had to make changes in their life, I discovered a common question; where do I start? The answer for me was maintaining my sense of purpose while I struggled with the red tape of my life. The one true obstacle holding me back was fear of the unknown. Only recently did I realize that failure was my unknown. So I am taking that first baby step. Second Wind Women is for any woman of any age who has been challenged with change, whether by choice or chance. For women starting over with new careers, new families, empty nests etc. You name it. There comes a time when one has to take a deep breath and find that second wind to get them to the finish line. This is my Second Wind. I hope you all enjoy the race with me.
