starting over

At age 24 I married. At age 25 my first daughter was born. At age 30 my second daughter was born. During those years I owned my own business, kept house, loved my family and fulfilled my duty as a wife the best way I knew how. At age 39, my life changed. I had recently lost my grandmother and was having a very difficult time coping. I began to see my life as someone looking in would view it. Some of the things I saw made me realize that something had to change. At age 38, my marriage of 14 years was over. I was starting a new life.

How does someone find what they need inside of themselves to go out there and face the world as an individual when all they know is being part of a unit? How can someone that looked in the mirror for so many years, not liking what they saw, open their eyes and see a vibrant, happy, emotionally content person? How is someone able to find the confidence and self assuredness they once emitted as a flirty, younger woman with their whole future ahead of them?

Life is not an episode of Sex in the City. Four of our closest girlfriends are not going to show up at our door, dress us in a sexy outfit and take us to a club where we dance, meet the latest J.Crew model who adores us and solve all of life’s challenges in a 60 minute condensed version of happily ever after.

It takes baby steps to pull yourself back up and reorganize your world. There is a transformation that occurs within as you rediscover your strengths and prioritize your needs. To some extent, you need to reinvent yourself as you get comfortable with being an individual again.

As you work on your insides, something begins to happen on the outside. You become stronger inside and begin to gain self confidence. Your smile shines, perhaps a new wardrobe is in order, eventually you want to put yourself back out there in the dating world.

Looking in the mirror, you see the strides you have made. You also see the lines that have been drawn, the wrinkles and creases that didn’t seem to matter before. Do you have to carry those leftovers with you as you begin anew? The resounding answer is NO. You are starting over; you are transforming all facets of your life; including your facial appearance.

The Iphone Fivein5 facial exercises are designed to be effective, chemical free, simple exercises that will erase the tell-tale signs of your previous life. A one- time fee of only $4.95 and five minutes of your day is all you need to strengthen and tone the muscles in your facial and neck area. Blood flow will increase to rejuvenate the strengthened and toned areas to bring back the vibrant, healthy appearance you once had. Lines and wrinkles will disappear. It won’t be long before the day comes when you will look in the mirror and realize… You’re back. You’re ready. You have come full circle.

Oh, what a wonderful day that will be. Trust me. It will happen. It happened for me. Here I am, on the cusp of my 42nd year, and life is good. I have rediscovered myself, and am now happily married again.
The journey was frightening but you know what? It was totally worth it.
