"Something about turning fifty and all of the change and upheaval that goes on in most women's lives around that time and was going on in mine was just what I need to shake up my life and set it on a new path ~ this time in the direction of my heart's longing. Mid-way through life is a perfect time to re-invent yourself! You see the end just around the corner and so you're highly motivated!" she said.
