Hey there all!


I have a fun question for you since we are all a "little older' and I'm sure all of us have taken time to look back at our lives now and then.


Can you list 7 things that happened to you that were Major Life Changes? And which one of these changed your life the most and why?


Here's mine



1.  Figuring out I was Gay in High School


2. My Guidance counselor talking me out of becoming a teacher


3. Going to College


4. Getting married and Having a Son


5.  Coming out of the closet at 44


6. Meeting my Soulmate


7.  Finding Taoism and Tai Chi


 


I would have to say "coming out of the closet" and deciding to live the life I was meant to live changed my life the most because of course it lead to #6, meeting my soulmate.  Since being with K it has made my life sooo much better because I finally feel like I am on the road I was meant to travel. This also lead to #7 and spiritually I now feel so complete and everything has fallen into place.

Caly, first of all...it's good to see you back in the Garden.

I'll have to think about your question and figure out which one changed my life the most. My life has taken so many twists and turns along the way.

How great for you that you are now in your perfect place. That's such a peaceful feeling.

Oh that is a hard question! I really don't think there is one thing that changed my life except for the move I made

Caly, it sounds like you are in a really good place in life, and I am very happy for you!


As for me....and I may come back later and edit these as I think about it more.

Thanks ALL!


I really enjoyed reading your replies. It is amazing when we look back and see how some of the small (at the time) choices we make, can change our lives in such big ways.
