Exploring Life – Inspiring Change
So many of us live in an environment that pushes us every step of the way, every single day to make more money, gain more power, and reach more success. On top of that, it seems that to achieve those things we are leaving behind health, family, community, and often our own humanness. Lost in a mode of “it’s all about me” we find ourselves forgetting to see the beauty around us, making no time for the things in our own lives that bring us joy and love – the things that connect us with our family and neighbors. We drive full speed ahead down a self-absorbed path, only to awaken to what we are missing when a life crises smacks us in the face. Then we realize that we cannot turn back time. We have grown children we don’t know. We have a hidden secret and no one to share it with. We are in a relationship that is sinking with no idea how or when it got to be this bad. Our parents are aging and we have no tools on how to be the oldest generation.
