Transitions are never easy. Transitions require us to step into the unknown, and they can be filled with risks. Transitions are particularly tough when they are thrust upon you when you weren’t planning for them. And to be honest, most of us don’t plan our transitions very well. We live in an age where we think that youth, and all that goes with it, is a never-ending cycle. Sadly, our bodies remind us that there many stages of life, and getting older is yet one inevitable stage we must all accept.

Thanks for bearing with me as I wax, maybe not too eloquently, on this subject. I turned 60 in February, and it’s finally catching up with me, this new chapter of my life. It’s fairly normal to think that you can keep going as you are, again, because we live in a society where youth is held high as the lifestyle stands. Plus, today there are so many ways to remain “looking” youthful.

But, as I look down the runway of my life, and the end is getting closer every year that passes, I need to consider my life stage, my next chapter - as they say. If I don’t, I’m living a lie, and I won’t be as fruitful as I could be in this season. Accepting where you are, and all that comes with, yet another transition, is not all bad. Here’s the thing, transitions can make us stronger, better people. And as you age, and the end of the proverbial runway looms closer you have this to look forward to - flight happens at the end. That is when we truly soar.

For this article I want to look back on my last four decades and the milestones, the turn of the wheel, that led me - sometimes kicking and screaming - into the next decade. I’m thinking some of this might help you think about what’s next. Life isn’t static, whether you like it or not. Your life keeps moving, and you need to move with it.

 

The 20s: Experimenting With Life

I call this era my “wave on the shore” years. My 20s were fraught. I didn’t know what I wanted or how I wanted to live my life. I had BIG dreams, way too big for someone that was unwilling to put in the work and face the facts – things were NOT going to drop on my head. In short, I was a mess. I was doing very interesting things by certain standards; the café society was strong in my life 😊 And I was involved in some cool work in the arts and architecture arena in old Miami Beach. I had a LOAD of friends, and we were always up to tricks. But I wasn’t happy, and change was in the wind.

Lesson Learned: DON’T make big decisions when you are undecided.

 

The 30s: Finding My Call

First Big Transition - leaving my 20’s for my 30’s. I’m going to refer to this decade as: Finding My Call. I moved to NYC at 30 on a wing and a prayer. I wanted to become a writer and figured by being in the literary capital of America somehow this might happen to me. I did have a few manuscripts, but as we all know, you can’t just hope a dream into existence. I was broke, working as a receptionist in a sexy fashion PR firm, living downtown and getting to know the city through all the free parties I could attend on the tab of the agency. I could also borrow some of the clothes. Perk! At that point in my life, I was alternatively thankful I had survived my 20’s, but I was at a loss for what to do next. Then, two significant things happened all at once that set me on the road for my future.

●     I had a spiritual awakening.

●     I found my work mojo. 

Coming back to my faith helped me get my head on straight. First thing I discovered was that I wasn’t perfect (no surprise!) and that I didn’t have to pretend anymore. Second thing I gained was a real sense of freedom. I could be me. I felt an enormous weight slide off my back and with it came a confidence that translated into a desire to pursue a career. I was helping in a communications firm, so why not start there? Fast forward 30 years and that fledgling start has turned into a fruitful profession.

Lesson Learned: Freedom doesn’t always mean doing less, it can mean giving more.

 

The 40s: Letting Go

Next up, my 40s. I entered this this decade, unmarried and without children. It was pretty apparent to me that I was never going to have a family of my own, at least one that I produced with another person. As a woman, there is a certain death you have to process when you have passed the years in which it is “easier” to produce babies. Even if you didn’t have your heart set on children, it’s still a tough moment. I also don’t think a woman has to be defined by having a significant other in her life, but I always wanted a husband. Always. I grew up without a father, and the lack of a man in my life was a heartache. 

Recognizing that as things stood, I wasn’t going to have my own children, and I may very well not meet the right partner for me, I decided to start living my life in a whole new way. What I said earlier about perfection was real for me. If I couldn’t do something really well, I didn’t want to do it at all. In my early 40’s I determined to throw that thinking out entirely, and started doing things I was interested in, or curious about, even if I knew I would never become good at them. So, I picked up golf. I’d always loved walking green, grassy courses, now I wanted to play on them. I knew I’d never be good at the game; I didn’t have enough time to practice, but so what? I’d have fun anyway. I started taking piano lessons. I bought a used upright and had a blast. I started taking French lessons, and so much more. I loved my 40’s because the freedom in my 30’s extended to the whole of my life in the most satisfying way. I was becoming more me.

Lesson Learned: Letting go isn’t giving up.

 

The 50s: Showing Up

The 50’s can be a rough time for women, as it often is when we become “invisible.” This is unfortunate because this is also when we are at our prime. We’re experts at the things we’ve put our hand to, and we’re probably making the most money we’ve ever earned. To be discounted is hard. So many of the early years are characterized by fighting to find yourself, and once you do it almost feels like it’s over. In a culture defined by youth, the 50’s are when many of us gals hit menopause, and that can wreak havoc on your body.

I entered my 50’s having just gotten married, just moved to another country, and in the midst of wresting my business back from the edge after the 2008 economic downturn (clients were dropping like flies). Stress? LOL. I also didn’t know that I was heading into menopause, and I was feeling the strain. On the other hand, I was able to get my business back on track and I was contributing at a very high level to a few organizations that needed my expertise. Add in a new interest in writing and while I felt like I was in the battle of my life, I was also the most productive I had ever been.

Good news. I got my business back in action and we started doing the best, most creative work yet. I landed an awesome literary agent (dear friends made a great intro!) who is helping me get ready to start pitching out a YA manuscript. And I learned to make a truce with menopause and have even been a help to some of my friends. The 50’s have been ROUGH. No lie, but I made it through the other end.

Lesson Learned: Don’t let the battle define you, let it refine you.


 The 60s: The Wonder Years

Well, here I am in my 60’s. I threw myself an awesome party to celebrate the passage of this milestone. It came in with more transition. No surprise! My husband and I are making more (positive) changes, and though it’s always hard to let something go, it’s turning out to be a great path, and yielding some special moments and opportunities. This is where my spiritual awakening has TRULY defined my life. I have a deep-seated trust in God that He is in charge, and that His ways are always good. Always. 

I’ve got a big dream in my heart about another business, but I’m taking a moment off to sit and pray and see what really makes sense. At my age I don’t want to go running down a path that isn’t right for me right now. These years are precious, an opportunity to lean into family, and enjoy the hard-won fruit of our labor. My husband and I have worked our butts off for a very long time, and it has been incredible, but it’s been a lot. Maybe, just maybe, I’m meant to lean back for a season. I’m not sure. We’ll see. I hope I get to add the next decade to this post one day. It will be interesting to see what God asks me to do next.

Lesson Learned: Sometimes you just need to wait and see.
