Kick Start Change Challenge

I've found it really difficult to continue living in a positive way since the death of my husband a year ago.

that is, until I realized that the only way to get through things, is with the help of your friends. I love my 3 best girls very much, but have been shutting them out this entire year, in hopes I could get through this on my lonesome. I was always an independent woman, opinionated, and headstrong..what's so different now, thought I.

But after watching Bonneville (www.bonevillethemovie.com) the other day, I realized the power of friendship can do miracles. I was on Prozac for a while, and saw absolutely nothing wrong with it. It was my mechanism, and then I realized my girls could be my mechanism, my anti drug.

And here I am, starting my new life at 50. With the powerful movie starring Kathy Bates, Jessica Lange, and Joan Allen, imprinted as inspiration, my own best friends by my side, and the antidepressants in the cabinet, I'm ready to kick start my new life at 50.

Wish me luck.

Oh I heard about that movie!

It looks like a female version of "the bucket list" out last month. The coming of age of two old pals. I was looking into it, but if it affected you that much..seems interesting enough.

Good luck girl! I wish you all the best, and firmly believe that you can do anything you set your mind to. And age is merely a number.
