HOW I AM EMBRACING MY NEW ERA
I am newly single and Adaline Lane is what has come from my breakup. I would not have imagined that I would be single again and starting from scratch, picking up things I put down to devote time to my relationship, and being alone again.
This year holds special significance for me because this is my new era of becoming a woman with the purpose of discipline.. I am declaring this decade of my life an era of possibilities while keeping silent. I will pour into myself to achieve my goals, create my dream life, and put my needs before others. Reflecting on the past decade, I often find myself yearning to achieve more – perhaps owning a home, solidifying my career, or even starting my own business.
However, that’s not where I am in life at the moment. I am newly single, no career, and nothing to show for anything. While I have devoted over two decades to motherhood, I yearn for more. Although higher education may not feel as crucial to me at this point in my life, it is still a goal I am determined to achieve. As I walk into a new era of my life, I am certain that the path ahead is one well worth taking.
A New Era
Embracing my newfound wisdom fills me with exhilaration as I forge ahead, actively shaping my own destiny. The coming decade will be a time of redefining my perception of forty and achieving remarkable milestones. What will my forties hold? That’s a puzzle only I can put together. Who would have guessed I’d be starting a blog? But here I am, carving out a small space for myself to freely express my thoughts and the things that bring me joy.
I have made the decision to stop waiting on the sidelines and start living my life. I will begin by creating a list and taking action one step at a time. I refuse to wait for the perfect moment or be over-prepared, only to never start at all. Let’s acknowledge that there will never be a perfect time for our dreams to come true. It’s time to focus on what our hearts desire.
I am no longer thirty, so I must change my mindset of what it truly means to live in my forties. It’s my time to start something new. Reinvent myself to what I have always wanted to be. Take up new hobbies to start, learn something new, and read as much as possible. I will be more active and out in nature more than I have been. Style my life how I have always imagined.
As I embark on my new era, I embrace the optimism of seeing things through to the end. My soul yearns for a slower pace of life, adorning myself in elegance for exquisite dinners and escaping on grand adventures. I am ready to embrace living in the moment rather than constantly waiting and meticulously planning. In the approaching years, I will carve out my very own sanctuary, a place I can proudly call home. Undoubtedly, my forties will be filled with a mix of missteps, triumphs, letdowns, and elation, yet through it all, I will persist in absorbing wisdom and forging ahead.
It is crucial for me to undergo a profound reinvention at this pivotal moment in my life because life is about change. Finally, I can cast off some of my maternal responsibilities. My children rely on me less and less, granting me the opportunity to expand beyond the blessings of motherhood. While I will always cherish my role as a mother, it no longer defines my entire existence.
From the moment my oldest daughter entered the world, I wholeheartedly dedicated myself to being a supportive and attentive presence in her life. This commitment extends to all my children, and I have no regrets about prioritizing their well-being. It brings me immense satisfaction to witness the positive impact of my love and support. Now, I aspire for them to understand that true success and fulfillment come from pursuing their own paths, free from the influence of others’ dreams.
I am determined to forge my path, embracing endless growth and unwavering authenticity. My journey involves a continuous transformation, radiating from within. What kind of woman do I aim to be in my forties? I envision myself as the Lady of my own manor, with “Adaline Lane” etched on the gates as a bold declaration of self. I am committed to understanding and embracing my femininity, epitomizing grace and poise while beginning my era as a single woman.
A valuable guiding principle in this pursuit is to deeply comprehend my own aspirations and bring them to fruition. While I haven’t neglected myself, I haven’t prioritized self-care as I should. For me, observing classic films like “How to Marry a Millionaire” featuring my favorite actress, Lauren Bacall, transports me to an era where women eluded elegance. It may be a film, but the meticulous attention to wardrobe profoundly inspires me.
