Straight up there are days when i wonder if I just should’ve taken the transportation planning job I was offered many moons ago. But I just had to go to law school and prove to everyone who told me I would never make it, particularly after getting pregnant, and to give up.
Now I don’t look at it as giving up but letting go. And it’s quite a relief. Expensive lesson learned, these student loans are killing me. But I’m living on my terms and not what I think will make x person proud or what I have to prove to anyone.
So I end by hoping that all of us with lives lived and lessons learn 1) be kind to ourselves in the reflective moments 2) share with our young folks about shifting from scarcity to abundance. We need to change how we view our place in the world. 3) and share our stories.
So many of us sit with these decisions we’ve made, some missteps some truly bad choices. And we stew and never process nor release that pain to accept our blessings. Or we assume it’s too late for us. Well last year at 37 I entered a whole new field. And I did it again this year.
