I’ve had some minor health challenges to overcome, including irritable bowels, migraine headaches, a history of horrific eczema and I’m now navigating a peaceful passage through peri-menopause. I’ve been stuck in jobs I couldn’t stand for wont of a paycheck, and I know now that that many of my physical symptoms directly related to the circumstances of my life. (Quite literally: I had a job in finance that gave me headaches.) Do you know what I mean?

In my thirties, I started to fear that my life was in a rut, and that I would leave this life-time having left many of gifts unused – which gave me a constant knot in my stomach. Finally, after years of excuses and ignoring opportunities that would have allowed me to take a chance on things I wanted to try, I was put in a situation in which I had no choice—or perhaps I was finally free to make a choice. Drowning in debt, I decided late one night that I had to sell my house in order to retain my sanity. The next day, I lost my job. A week later, my marriage ended. I finally had nothing to lose. (Again, literally. Wow, there’s a theme here.)
