Introduction
This book is a gift to you, the midlife women of the world. In writing this book, we wanted to provide support, inspiration and encouragement to any of you who are using this milestone as a time to reclaim your lives and your dreams. As we read through the thousands of stories that we considered for Chicken Soup to Inspire a Womans Soul, we found a depth, a strength, a resilience, a generosity and a resourcefulness that were truly inspiring.
One of our reasons for writing this book is that women in our culture often struggle to focus on themselves, their needs and their dreams. Lets face it, much of womens value comes from the ability to know what other peoples needs are and to fulfill them. Yet, deep within, each woman longs to reinstate herself at the center of her own life.
Dont panic: Were not suggesting that you abandon your family, career or loved ones. Were simply suggesting that you bring yourself back into the equation, that you make your needs part of the overall picture.
Let us let you in on a little secret: If you use this time to reevaluate your lifeto question anything youve been doing on autopilot for a long time, be it in your career, family or relationshipsthen you can begin to unearth the secret wishes that will take you back to a more authentic sense of yourself.
Nows the time to take your neglected dreams off of the back burner. Whatever youve been longing to do, whatever youve been yearning to reclaim, nows the time.
This book was created to inspire you to cast off old constraints and become who you truly are at the core of your being. We hope that you will see yourself in the stories of these womenwomen who at times have struggled yet have successfully reclaimed their lives. As you immerse yourself in these stories, we hope that you will explore your own quest for greater satisfaction and fulfillment.
The question remains: How can you make this time of your life rich in self-discovery, growth and transformation? To start, you can honor where you have been and what youve done; you can acknowledge the challenges you have endured, the strengths you have accumulated, and the knowledge you have extracted from your experiences. In other words, you can celebrate all that you are and all that you are becoming.
