This page is about living life at 50 and everything that comes with “what’s next”. On my 51st birthday I did some reflecting on what my life looked like and I realized I was faced with some really heavy stuff. Aging parents that need more time and help from me and my brother, my side gig, my home based business, A new romantic relationship, in addition to my other relationships and how they evolved, or didn’t. Who in my life was bringing value, who wasn’t. retirement and what that looks like, guiding my grown children. All of a sudden these things are real.
Since 2007 I have been a single mom raising my now adult children. It was a time in my life I had to pick up where my late husband left off, go back to working as an Aircraft Buyer full time, and raising my family by myself and dealing with and doing everything else that came with raising kids. All the while having a feeling in my gut there was something out there I was missing. See….I also dabbled in my own MLM Company on the side, and wished, for months, I could do it full time, but my kids were priority and I needed to continue to provide a “normal” life for them. A test of my strength.
Working that full-time job came to a halt one day in May of 2017. The aircraft program I was working on for the SeaKing Helicopter was no longer going to be funded by the government and I was told that my job was no longer required. My wish came true! I was so freaking excited about this (after the shock wore off) because opportunity was knocking. This was that bigger and better thing waiting for me..WORKING FROM HOME! I couldn’t pack those boxes fast enough. I started working my own business, choosing my own hours, doing my own thing and being my own boss.
After both my kids graduated, they moved out. I didn’t know if I should cry or have a party. This is when things changed again for me. All of a sudden it was me and my dog, in a big house that was quiet and slow. I liked my new situation working from home, then I started to panic about the money I was making. So, to bridge that gap I took another side gig doing shift work. I still do it today, it’s good money, but it’s taking its toll.
