When Clarity Feels Out of Reach

Let me just say it loud for the women in the back: You don't need to have it all figured out.

After I became a widow at 44, I had a million people asking what I was going to do next. And honestly? I didn't have a clue. I didn't even know what I wanted for lunch, let alone what I wanted out of the next season of life.

And here's what I've learned: that's okay.

Clarity doesn't always show up with fireworks and a five-year plan. Sometimes it whispers through small moments - a flicker of interest, a gentle curiosity, or the relief of just saying "no" to things that no longer fit.

Why Losing Yourself Isn't the End - It's a Reintroduction

When you've spent years pouring into others - your marriage, your kids, your career - it's easy to forget what makes you feel alive. So if you're sitting there wondering what your dreams are now, you're not broken. You're just in a season of rediscovery.

And the best way to start finding your way again?

Start small.

One mini habit. One gentle step. One tiny "what if?" at a time.

What Helped Me Move Forward

I started asking myself one question:

"What would make today feel 5% better?"

Not 50%. Not perfect. Just.... a little lighter. A little more me. And over time, those small steps added up. I began to feel like I could dream again - not in a huge, dramatic way, but in a quiet, steady, hopeful way.

Final Thoughts

You don't have to figure it all out right now. You just have to take the next small step. You're not starting from scratch - you're starting from experience, from strength, and from a beautifully brave heart that's still beating with purpose.

Your next chapter isn't waiting for you to have all the answers. It's waiting for you to begin.
