Embracing New Beginnings: My Journey of Reinvention

Hey there,

This morning, as I sipped my coffee and watched the sunrise, I found myself lost in thought. It's a mere two weeks until my 46th birthday, an age that seems like the crossroads between youth and wisdom. As I pondered my life's twists and turns, I couldn't help but reflect on the concept of starting over.

I've had to hit the reset button a few times in my life, and this juncture feels like another fresh start. Some might consider 46 young, while others may label it as middle-aged. To me, it's a sweet spot where my youthful energy blends with the depth of life experiences.

My youthfulness comes in part from being a mom to two spirited daughters. They keep me on my toes and inject my life with an abundance of enthusiasm. But beneath the surface, my soul carries the weight of wisdom, a gift from being born to an older mother and co-parented by my grandparents. It's a unique blend that I cherish.

Yet, let's be honest – starting over can be scary and challenging. It's not something I actively sought, but it's a path I'm compelled to tread post-incarceration. My return marked the beginning of a profoundly different chapter in my life. My beloved father had passed away, my stable job was no more, and personal relationships had shifted in ways I never imagined. It felt like my world had turned on its head.

In the midst of this upheaval, there's something profound about embracing change. I find myself eagerly excited about this new season in my life. I'm in the planning stages of relocating to a fresh environment, a move that promises adventure and growth.

What's more, I'm venturing into new territory when it comes to my personal brand, something I've never quite dedicated myself to before. I'm investing time and energy into self-improvement and personal growth, making this journey of reinvention all the more exhilarating.

I'm evolving, nurturing both new and old relationships, and even making the tough call to end some that no longer serve my growth. Yet, there's a part of me that's feeling a tad gun-shy. The fear of the unknown creeps in. Am I truly enough? Do I possess the talent, skills, and resources required for this new phase?

Despite these apprehensions, there's a loud and resounding "hell yeah" echoing within me. I've walked this path of reinvention before, and I know I can do it again. The past has been my teacher, and the present is my canvas. It's time to paint a new masterpiece, embracing the colors of life's unpredictability.

This journey may be filled with uncertainties, but it's these very uncertainties that make life beautiful. So, as I approach my 46th birthday, I embrace the challenge of starting over, rekindling my spirit, and crafting a life that's uniquely mine.

Thank you for joining me on this path of reinvention. I'm excited to share this adventure with you.

With gratitude and hope,

Sharita
