Have you ever looked in a mirror and not recognized the person looking back at you? I have.
In 1997, my now ex-husband walked out on me and our two children. When I realized the marriage was truly over, I didn’t know who I was or what I wanted. For seven years, I’d focused on “us” – as a couple, as a family unit. As a result, “me” got left behind.
It gets more complicated.
I now had to figure out what I was going to do with the rest of my life (I thought). But choosing a single path and sticking with it for 20+ years sounded like torture. It still does. But I didn’t realize at the time that I had options.
In the end, I chose to get a degree in paralegal studies. I worked for 8 years in the legal field before I couldn’t take it anymore.
Change was in the air.
So I went back to school for my communications degree. Still, I wanted out of cubicles and other people’s offices. I knew I wanted a career that would provide well for my and mine, but I also didn’t want to do the same thing, day in and day out.
Not too long ago, I discovered something that explains my difficulty. I am a polymath. Like Benjamin Franklin and numerous others, I have many and varied interests.
And who says I have to choose only one?
So, I’ve focused the past few years on finding ways to weave together the various threads of my life, my interests, my dreams, in such a way as to have a life I love living.
Now, my mission is to help others like myself. Seekers. People with more interests than time. Those who get bored easily and jump from project to project. You can pull all of the threads together into an interesting and satisfying life. And I can show you how.
