Remember when you were younger and you would say wistfully, “Someday I’m going to…”? Back then, ‘someday’ seemed so far away. It felt more like a pipe dream than your eventual reality.

It was your dream to write that book, paint that masterpiece, finally learn to cook, travel the world.

You’re a midlife woman now, honey. That time is now and your someday is today. It’s your time to do whatever you want. How freeing is that? Perhaps your nest is empty, you dumped 200 pounds of excess weight [hint: the snoring, belching, peeing on the toilet rim kind of weight], or early retirement has kicked in — whatever your circumstances, the fruit is now ripe for picking.

Your time has come, midlife woman. That someday is today.
