Boomers and Parents made time this summer to see what was next for them before Back To School.
Here is what some agreed I could share with you:
1. I am not fully in bloom, but I have rich soil.
2. I waited too long to apply for classes in Adult Education Classes so I will have to find neighborhood shops.
3. I didn’t kiss enough when I was younger. I only dated one person.
4. I should have left my career five years ago.
5. I made my brain more important than my body. I am fat.
6. I follow more than lead and now I will check in with my inner wants.
7. I don’t ask enough questions and I regret not being curious.
8. I am bored with all my excuses so I am stepping up. I have been too routined.
9. I regret I didn’t think mistakes were ok. Now I do.
10. I am starting over with friends because I stayed too long with the old gang.
What are you thinking about for your Back To School Calendar?
What support will you need? How will you get that support?
You might want to look at the gift and the curse of sitting on the side lines.
What did you gain and what went on pause?
What I enjoy in sharing our stories is the reminder that you have an orchestra of precious selves inside you that have thoughts and feelings.
It is never too late to bring up the drums or the violins or play them simultaneously.
Take good care,
Natalie
