I remember my grandmother always having some quick wit or advice or wisdom to help me navigate the entry to becoming an adult. As a youngster I did not value her words until I became an adult and truly began my journey. I’m sure you’ve heard some of these sayings;

A clear conscience is more valuable than wealth

Change yourself and your fortune will change

You are never too old to start life anew. my paternal glammother graduated from college in her late seventies. Inspired by her and needing to make some major career changes due to economics following the ending of my marriage and health issues that are becoming problematic at work, I decided to return to college myself.

I guess I have to start looking into going back to school, which has been a secret dream of mine for awhile.
