"Midlife offers a unique opportunity to reevaluate and, if necessary, correct your course - a chance to set new goals and priorities for yourself and make choices that will create the rich, satisfying experience you always hoped your life would be. It's a time to reclaim your forgotten dreams." - Christine Carter Schaap, Bring It On!

Welcome to The Midlife Journey!
I'm so excited to be able to communicate with you informally about issues related to our adventure together as women. I hope you'll check back often as I discover new things to share with you.

First of all Thank you. Im 42 yrs. old. I have 2 healthy children, married with a faithful, hardworking husband. Up to this point, I have never had a crisis in my family. Thank God. I believe I am going through a mid life crisis. Most people look at me as if im crazy. I dont fit the norm of women or men who go through this crisis. But thats not true. I will be reading "bring it on" I do appreciate this site. I can freely give you my perspective on the changes im experiencing since I dont fit the "mold". Ive come to realize that my positive attitude in life has lead me to believe so many unrealistic facts about myself and husband. We want to believe the positive, stay possitive and create that energy around us. But Im waking up from this dream and realizing at 42 that Ive excepted only what Ive wanted to see and hear. We are what we are, we try to paint a pretty picture of each other when its not. After a while you realize that youre tire of living through the eyes of someone else and you want to live life as you see it, feel it and want it to be. I dont know where to begin, I feel like Im no longer the same person. I voice my opinion without hesitation "like never before" as if Im sticking up for myself. I have always valued my time, and life over all. This time I find myself throwing in the towel, I dont see much point in anything and resetting goals for myself. I feel like its late to do all the things ive sacrafise. Knowing myself I know I will come out of this. This time im trying to get the guidance Ive never had. Thank you Christine Carter for your hard work and dedication to all women going through midlife transition
