It is absolutely okay to change your mind. That message alone is worth sharing (though maybe not with organizations, who seem to make a habit of it) LOL Look forward to hearing more! And I'd actually love to pick your brain about how to break into speaking for organizations like the ones you mention. Very exciting, Cherry! It is absolutely okay to change your mind.

I definitely have no desire to be stuck in the past. Too boring and energy depleting. Cherry Thanks so much Linda. I definitely have no desire to be stuck in the past.

That perspective warms the cockles of my heart. (what are cockles?) Cherry Kathy,

As I read through, I thought more of reinventing oneself, rather than changing your mind. And at the age of 62--I believe you have more than earned your right to switch things up. That's the thing about life--it's always changing. When we don't recognize the flow, and quit what's not working, regardless of how important and gratifying it once was, we're stuck in the past and doomed to be unsatisfied and always looking behind us. There's nothing wrong with old--hell, we'll all get there one day. What's old and tired is not recognizing that risk taking is a part of sharing yourself and the gifts you've learned and passing them along to the younger generation. Wonderful work with women--I think you and Dawn Lennon should collaborate on a project :). What an expansive career Cherry!

What interesting work you do! Your Coming of Age has been quite productive! I dont know you well, but it looks as though you took a much-needed emotional respite, during which you did a re-valuation of your core feelings and beliefs. And just let yourself percolate in an organic, creative unconscious/conscious process, and there you are! Moved further along the path of self-actualization! I've read that wisdom is developed over a lifetime of experiences, and we develop a rich inter-connected neuronal network of memories and responses, upon which we unconsciously draw. I think you are there. Hey Cherry! What interesting work you do! Your Coming of Age has been quite productive!

Oh my I know those days - how miserable they are. Journaling, getting out and taking the next baby step are excellent strategies that have helped me many times. A question: What do you do when nothing seem to help? When the feeling have settled in to stay a little longer? So glad you are feeling better Cherry!

It must be a sign of maturity. It is good to be reminded that people do need to hear these old news again. A lot of what I am teaching my readers on my relationship blog is old truths. Fear makes children and adults unable to think clearly - a "no-brainer", but not for everyone. The limbic system store all prior experiences of pain, psychical and emotional. Without the front cortex we have difficulty processing the pain. When triggered by any pain/fear that reminds us by association about the old pain/fear. This is perhaps why terrible work environments can trigger old traumatic experiences and re-traumatize people that has to work there. I have noticed that too! It must be a sign of maturity.

I am feeling better now. Slept in a chair again last night but the cough has definitely decreased in frequency.

I agree that sometimes “all we have are the next steps.”
