Reflections on a Moonlit Shore

I’ve been away from my house with my family for the first time in almost three years. It was magic! We rented a place on the beachfront. A rare moon was out and reflected on the ocean, making it look like this giant mirror to heaven every night.

For me, it was a time of self-discovery.

It is just like riding a bike. So get back on the horse!

I told my story in the last few months – however raw it was. I have written down many intensely personal accounts of life as an entrepreneur, wife and mother.

So, today I want to compare where I am and my life experience with riding a bike—or preparing to saddle that horse and get back on it.

The Entrepreneurial Cornicles of a Veteran

I would imagine this is what a soldier feels after a war: tired in various ways, traumatized and even maybe a little lost.

I have learned more about teamwork, people, and the signs we often miss early (“ominous”). Or write them off as something other than what they are in the last three months than in my 39 years combined.
