  • Am I Lost? Midlife Identity Lost & Found - Who Am I NOW?
    Nov 20 2024

    You can lose your sense of Identity during Midlife or feel completely lost. You may feel a loss of purpose and wonder who you are. Maybe you were lost in playing the role of a parent or caretaker and that role has dissolved. What if this is the ideal midlife state for a rebirth? But can you make friends with this in-between state? Today I share two incredible poems to foster a deeper meaning in you as the sun sets over the Grand Parade Meadow at Valley Forge National Park. This may be exactly what you need to hear now.
