Too late? The picture above was taken a decade ago! Time is moving quickly, the more I follow the Gen X side of social media the more I see posts screaming that if you’re 50 you have 26 yrs left! 26 years I’ve been a mom for 25 yrs and that flew by! I’ve been self employed for 4 months now, seems like just yesterday I was announcing that decision, but it was actually about 6 months ago! I’ve been divorced for 4 yrs next month! Okay you didn’t need a blog post to see that I’m old but let’s look at the other side of time!
Let’s look at some recent new beginnings and how old I was!
48 years old: Started my Only Fans account in the first 3 months I made it into the top 1.3% (currently sitting at top 2% but I will take that for now)
50 years old Divorce was finalized after 25 yrs of marriage my divorce 4 years in the making finally complete)
53 years old Quit my job of 13 years to go full time online as a content creator and a host of other side jobs, but I’m making my own schedule and can help care for my elderly father.
54 and beyond? Who knows but I have learned that it’s never too late to make changes, big changes and get the life you have always dreamed of second chances are real , as long as you are on this earth, you can define what’s too late and what isn’t.
Looking back decisions I made at 23 yrs old when I thought it was too late to go to college or start a new career, those decisions are THREE DECADES old now! What can I start today that I can look back on and be glad I made those decisions? Where do I want to be next week? Next month? Next year? I can’t wait to see where I go next!
Thank you for listening 💋

One of my favorite quotes is by Henry David Thoreau “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined.” actually had that as my sig line on everything when I went to college in my late thirties and early forties, also like “Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.”
Unfortunately pneumonia and lack of health insurance ruined my financial aid and made me withdraw and go back to work full time, but my 3.8 GPA over 3 years proved to me that I had the capability and intelligence. I still never look back, things happen and you just push through them as best you can, but I encourage everyone, especially you, to keep going for your dreams at every opportunity, LIVE the life you imagined💖💖
I love Thoreau! Have visited Walden a few times ! I’ll send you some pics.
Thank you hon💖💖
