I remember very specifically when it was that I started my personal growth journey. I was thirty-five years old. How do I remember that you may ask, because “truetome35” was the username I used to set up my online account in Oprah’s online community.
I wish I could say I lived up to that “handle”, but I didn’t. Over the last twenty years, since I made that proclamation, I lost myself often. I played small, lost my voice and didn’t stay true to my journey. With each step forward, I took many backwards. I let fear rule my life, and lacked the belief that I deserved more than a life of mediocrity.
Have you ever felt that way? Or are you feeling that way now?
If so, I want to let you know you are not alone. Life is a journey of self-discovery and often times when the journey gets hard, we doubt the belief that we deserve more and start to believe that “this is all there is”.
Ironically, as I typed that last sentence, I realized that was my wake-up call all those years ago, when I would wake up each morning asking myself, “is this all there is”. Thirty-five is way too young to feel that way, right? Andy fifty-five is way too old to feel that way, for sure.
If there ever was a time to stake your claim and draw the line in the sand, it is now. If you are like me and are in your fifties or older, its time to stop playing around and get real about what we want out of this life we have. And if you have up to this point, like I have, believed that you didn’t deserve more, it’s time to put that belief on the shelf and grab your cape, my friend. Dress rehearsal is over and now is the time to dream big, take big leaps and believe in yourself and the possibilities.

Hi Lisa, I love your message!
I was 44 when I took control of my life. I weighed 310 pounds, had chronic plantar fasciitis in both my feet, and had constant severe lower back pain. I went to physical therapy 2-3 times a week for the PF, and the therapist (Jane) would dig her thumbs into the bottom of my feet so hard, until I had tears streaming down my face.
After months of treatment with no improvement, Jane "fired" me as a patient. She told me as lovingly as she could that I wasn't going to get better until I lost the weight. She gave me the name of a wonderful doctor because my doctor was an ass, and…
