I'm finding more and more that I have zero tolerance for people and things that aren't good for me - and I'm not bothered that I don't fit into their boxes. I'm working out what's important to me and letting go of what isn't. Good post.A. J.

I feel like I took the time to sort through these things and now I am very happy and very comfortable with where I have landed. It is true that so many of us spent all of our time and energy worrying about someone else or our responsibilities that we lost our true selves in the process. I am confident that with a little time and introspection every woman can rediscover herself, her strengths and skills and values and build life on her terms. And then, Life is good! <br /><br />P.S. It is also interesting that I have never known anyone from Australia and now I feel like I have a whole tribe of Aussie friends!

It seems to be that once the kids aren't taking up all our head space, we finally have time to think about ourselves and what we actually want out of life - one big bonus of Midlife I guess.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-45923568874961088042017-07-21T20:36:15.904+08:002017-07-21T20:36:15.904+08:00me too Deb - the Aussie girls rock don't we?me too Deb - the Aussie girls rock don't we?Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-3926793739131784332017-07-21T20:34:44.120+08:002017-07-21T20:34:44.120+08:00All of these tips are right to the point!

I was ruled by my peers' expectations as a young woman, my friends' expectations as a young mother, and more recently, my associates' expectations as a working woman. It was easier and less scary to go along with everyone than step out on my own path. It's only after our last child left home that I took the time to think about myself and what was important to me. At that point I was tired of living for others. It made me brave enough to say, "Enough!" So glad I did.Melody Smith https://www.blogger.com/profile/06992939822081379315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-71919259044726315412017-07-21T13:12:01.039+08:002017-07-21T13:12:01.039+08:00Great tips Leanne!
