Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend, Sometimes challenges - and opportunities - pop up in our life. What do you make them mean? I explore this in today's episode. ? "Life isn’t a one way, smooth sailing go-kart course, or street. It has detours. It has bumps. It has U-turns sometimes. Yes, sometimes we change course consciously, by making a decision, or we change our mind. But other times, life forces us to change course for one reason or another."
