A Word from the Author

“Midlife produces a lot of self-examination. But it isn’t navel-gazing.  It’s not wasted time. As women in the middle years we’ve changed, matured, evolved from who we once were. Act Two of our adult lives lie ahead. Instead of looking back with longings for the past, now’s the time to get to know who you are, what you value most, where you want to invest the years ahead, and what special gifts God given you for His use. It’s a time of fresh beginnings and novel adventures as you open your life up to all that lies ahead. My prayer is that this book will make you laugh, nod in agreement, inspire your heart, and provide practical help as you navigate the exciting and sometimes challenging events that are part of this new life-stage.”
—Poppy Smith, author of I’m Too Young to Be This Old
