I’m really feeling this. My youngest is graduating college in a few weeks. My oldest moved to Thailand. I’ve been unemployed for a year. These questions of changing purpose, trying to find meaning, have been swarming me. I am in such a better place mentally, emotionally and spiritually now that I’ve had this introspective time. I have fundamentally changed the speed at which my movie plays. I have slowed to see the birds and the trees every single day. I have done a gratitude journal more days than not. I am grateful I’ve had this time - though I viewed being laid off as a crisis and was despondent often the first few months, and here I am now ready to move forward in a new manner. Purpose restored.
Thanks for reading and sharing, Heather. Sounds like a lot of change, purpose and meaning shifting. I love how you are being intentional in discovering your new purpose for this season. 💛
