Welcome. This is a blog created for us - women over 30 and our lives. In talking to you all, I know that you are busy, striving for something in your lives and have a lot to say. This space is a place to say it, collect our stories and share insights.
My vision began with my desire to create a 40 and fabulous plan for myself this year. As I began to talk to women, I heard two common themes: self discovery and improvement plans and personal and career ambitions and their interactions with men, including dating, boyfriends and husbands. Both themes produced the most inspirational and hilarious stories I have ever heard. They have also taught me a lot about the practical aspects of attempting to follow your dreams and the nature of those people called men.
These stories would also make an amazing film or series - they are all so interesting...
So, ready to think it through, possibly tell a story? Do you have other categories that you would like to contribute or hear about? Let us know - go for it. Feel free to post audio, video and pictures. Here are a couple questions that I am asking myself and would love for you to consider:
Your Life
1. What are the top three things that you want in you life right now?
2. What are the obstacles in your way?
3. What strategies do you use to overcome those obstacles
4. Make a list of the 10 things you love best in the world (this can be anything from activities, people, food, smells, sounds - anything)

I wanted to respond to this post...finally getting a little "Me" time to do it. Here goes:

1. What are the top three things that you want in you life right now?
Right now, I want to establish exactly "Who I am". I have spent so much time with the labels and titles given to me by others or by circumstance: Mom, Daughter, Sister, Auntie, Girlfriend. I have been lost in those titles for years. Now, I am finding out who "Tracy" is.
2. What are the obstacles in your way?
The obstacles I face are first and foremost: Fear. I have been so "in control" for so long. Now, here I am at 41, with bad credit, lots of debt, and mourning. The flip to that is that I am at a turning point...a new beginning. So once I overcome the fear, the sky will be the limit.
3. What strategies do you use to overcome those obstacles
I have learned that speaking my fears, writing my fears, sharing them with others...is very empowering. So many of us have the same fears and are carrying weight beyond belief around. We don't have to do this alone. There is strength in numbers (as long as the masses are all sane)

Well...lets work on that one....
