Breaking out of Boxes Thoughts on life love and letting go

Have you ever found yourself looking in the mirror unable to recognize the person looking back at you?Have you ever woken up one morning to find that everything that you had worked so hard to build had fallen apart and you found yourself having to start over?Have you ever felt like everything that you thought that you knew about life no longer fit with the person you had become?Have you ever questioned how you got to be where you are now?Have you ever found yourself asking the question who am I and where am I going to go from here?Have you ever wondered is this all there is to life?For me, it was at age 45 that I found myself asking these questions. My marriage had fallen apart, my kids were growing up and didn't need me in the same ways that they once had, and I felt lost and alone. It was as though I was losing my grip on who I was outside of my marriage and being a mother. I was on autopilot, just going through the motions that were required of me, not really present in my life. I felt stuck in a pattern of isolation and fear and I needed to make some changes so that I could move forward and figure out who I was and more importantly, who I wanted to be. We only have this one short and precious life and I wanted to start living it. This book is my way of working through the questions that I had about what it means to be human and how to live a full and satisfying life. These are my thoughts as I try to figure out how to reinvent myself.
