Then…
Giving birth to not one but TWO sets of twin boys was the most life-changing transition I've ever experienced. Imagine the look on my face when my OBGYNs (Dr. Dicker & Dr. Weiner, REALLY!), while viewing my ultrasound, said, "Marilyn, I have great news! You're not having triplets!"
As my two-year-twins ran about the office, I sat in disbelief.
My emotions ranged from utter fear, shock, and worry that would eventually turn to excitement. Now 25 and 28, they're four beautiful young men whom I completely adore. Life was sometimes challenging. When they were three and five years old, my husband left, and we divorced soon after.
My heart ached for my children as I contemplated the future. "Could I handle this?" That's when I stepped into full power and service mode.
Over time, I became exhausted and completely disconnected from the optimism and joy that once resonated within me. I ran out of fuel. A change in my life was desperately needed. I took action, leaving my job that drained my spirit for years, and began taking care of and re-discovering ME.
Now 60, I can genuinely say I have not only survived but also arrived, and so can YOU!"
