It seems kind of strange to open up and share with the world ones personal journey to enlightenment. At the tender age of 54, I feel as if my life has begun anew and the path to a higher understanding is close at hand.

I have always felt that there was something missing in my life. As the years progressed I realized that it was ‘Me’ that was missing. My very soul’s essence had been buried deep within for so long and the thought of allowing it to surface was absolutely terrifying.

If you’re like me, you’re in your early fifties and have recently discovered that you have more than likely spent a good portion of your life trying to please others. Of course, this is where the term ‘late bloomer’ comes in. In my opinion, it makes absolutely no difference whether it’s late or not. The simple fact that it arrived at all…means we’re the wiser for it.

All that knowledge we have been saving up inside, is finally ready to burst from within and hopefully, will guide us through the best years of our lives. They had better be the best years, because what I personally have left behind may have taught me a lot, but didn’t bring much joy or happiness.

It’s time to cash in on that lotto ticket folks! Watch out world…They finally let me out of my cage and I will never go back! Freedom…it’s sweet and I am forever grateful to the Universe for opening that door and allowing me to step through into the light.

OK…so that may be a little over-the-top, but it’s how I feel and hopefully you do to if you’re like me. Every single moment we have left needs to be appreciated and cherished. As I get older, I am constantly reminded by the ever increasing funeral invites I receive, that we simply don’t know when our time may come. I personally don’t want to arrive upstairs with the idea that I left something unfinished. I want to write that bucket list now and give myself a jump start at completing it.

Don’t get me wrong here. I’m not confusing my awakening to a mid-life crisis, quite the opposite in fact. How do I know? Because I had my life crisis when I turned thirty and found myself suddenly divorced and on my own with a three year old. That will get you every time. I just thank the God’s that I didn’t have more children when my world came crashing in. I am certain that I would have spent some serious time in the state hospital…compliments of welfare of course. So, kudos to all of you out there who manage with far less and do it without drugs or alcohol as a crutch.

This is the first day of the rest of my life and I don’t plan on wasting a single second! How about you? What can you change to make your days more manageable? I would love to hear from anyone out there about your experiences of awakening. Was it sudden or gradual? Are you able to laugh off those frustrating moments with a smile or are you stuck in frown mode? Can you find one or more things each day that makes you so grateful that you speak it out loud to yourself or even share it with someone else? Think about it…It takes more energy to be angry than it does to be happy!

Blessings to you!
