This is a recurring problem with women my age...

...you have achieved the ultimate miracle - no, not giving birth, but having lived through raising toddlers, with most of your sanity intact. The kids are off at school for a few blessed hours of the day...now what do you do? More importantly, what did you used to like to do? That is, before your life became a blur of purple dinosaurs and Cheerios crushed into the floor of your car. This goes beyond just girls night out...we're talking the P P P P-word...not Pampers or Playdates but Passion. What did you used to be passionate about? Over the next week I encourage you to meditate on that idea. What is that special thing that makes your heart go pitty pat and feeds your soul. Because when you've done your job and the kids jump out of the nest and spread their wings...someday...what will continue to make you jump out of bed every morning with joy?
