From Blue to Beyond: My journey to rediscover life at 50
They say life begins at 50, but for me, it felt more like a re-boot. After years of navigating the corporate maze, battling the silent storm of depression, and emerging from a significant life change, I found myself at a crossroads.
Divorced and staring down a milestone birthday, I realized the conventional path I’d been on was no longer serving me. The comfortable routine had become a cage, and the “blues” I’d been living with were a constant, dull hum in the background of my existence.
This isn’t just my story; it’s an invitation.

Join me as I chronicle my adventures, big and small, from leaving the corporate world behind to exploring new passions, traveling to unexpected places, and proving that age is truly just a number when it comes to chasing your dreams. It’s time to trade the blues for a sky full of possibilities.
