About Me

Welcome to
a year to Bloom

I am so happy that you are visiting this website.  My objective is to encourage and inspire those who, like me, are exploring new paths, focusing on self-care, and looking for ways to help manage and organize their lives.  

I am also hopeful that this will be a place where you can find interesting shopping ideas and tips. I truly want this to be a comfortable and inviting place for you.  A place where we can bloom!

This is how it started...

 

In 2022, I began to think about what’s next.  I worked for  a number of years in a field that I enjoyed, but I knew that something was missing.  There had to be something more out there for me.  The problem was that I wasn’t certain what that next step would (or, should) be. I understood that whatever path I took, it had to replenish my spirit and enable me to grow as a person.

I always loved books and reading, so I thought that might be a good place to start.  At the same time, I have to admit that I hesitated to act because I wasn’t confident in my ability to make a go of it.  I started to publish books, which was great fun for me, but I also realized that I wanted to find a forum that would allow me to share ideas with like-minded people.  

I soon realized that there were other people who were also considering making life changes.  I want to explore what it means to be a person of a certain age who wants to take a different path in life, enhance day-to-day life, and focus on self-care. 

I hope you will join me as I examine these issues in upcoming blog posts.
