Do you see your life as an epic story? Have you chosen how you will spend your next chapter?
If we are lucky, we live approximately a dozen Life Chapters (assuming current US life expectancy rates and each chapter is 7 years long).
Shortly after turning 49 years old, I came across a video about chapters in one’s life. This video resonated with me and helped me reflect on the chapters I have been blessed to live. Knowing that no chapter is guaranteed, I have decided to fill Chapter 8 with happiness and a dedication to serve others.
CHEERS to NEW life experiences, broadened perspectives, and everlasting happiness for you in 2025!
