I am a woman finding my self . . .


Somewhere between childhood and middle age (not that any of us are that old!), we lose our self.

We spend so many years being everything to everyone else that we wake up one day and wonder . . . if I'm not someone's wife, someone's daughter, someone's mother, or a teacher/doctor/accountant . . . than who am I?

I reached that point at 40 years old. I peeked my head out of the hole I'd been living in (and it was a lovely hole!) and realized that I had no idea who I was or what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

At that time, the only women I knew who were stepping outside of the accepted roles were writers. So I avidly read every book I could find by a woman who had set out on a journey of self-discovery . . . and found her self along the way.

It is that lost woman that I was at 40 that forms the center of A Woman's Way's vision and mission. If you're at that point in your life and would dearly love to join other women yearning for the same sense of self, then join us at one of the upcoming workshops or sign-up for my one-on-one mentoring program.

It's never too late to discover that you're already the amazing, extraordinary woman you're aspiring to become.

"I didn't know how amazing I was until
I came to your workshop and discovered
that I had a chance still to make something of myself.
I just had to get out of my own way."

Happiest of summer wanderings . . .

What does it take to find one's self??!
I don't know, probably a lot of soul searching and learning.
