Only in the last few days have I shared what I'm about to tell you and I'm not 100% sure why I'm sharing it now. Maybe it's because my odometer recently turned over and I am safely in my 70's!
During my 30's, 40's and 50's, I would look ahead to turning 60 and felt very positive about it. I know most people dread turning 60. I didn't. And not only didn't I not dread it, I looked forward to it. For some reason, I thought my 60's were going to be the best years of my life. Was I ever wrong.
Those of you who have read my memoir Anything is Possible know I've faced some interesting challenges. The last decade has out-challenged many of those situations. Yet, I survived them. Here I am with my 60's safely behind me. And I wonder what within me had looked forward to them so much? Usually my intuition is pretty good but it sure seems to have missed the mark here. But maybe the learning from facing the challenges is what I will eventually treasure.
Two different astrologers have told me that turning 70 will bring me to a new level of service, a new way of being more in the public eye than before. Both have said my true service begins in my 70's. I ask: so what have I been doing up to now - nothing?
And so, we'll see what happens. What new opportunities will present themselves? What new learnings will I have, new levels of understanding and ways to share what I learn?
Maybe sharing my journey with you this way is part of it? Oh, and last night was night six of using the CPAP machine. I'm getting more used to it but it is probably too early to expect to see results. My dog doesn't bark at me anymore and my partner doesn't laugh. Now that's progress.
