Not a single one of us can be certain what the future holds&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But my intention as I embark on my 50s is <strong>EXPANSION and feeling FULLY ALIVE.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I want to be more present. I want to go inward and spend more time peeling back more layers of who Kim is in the deepest recesses of her being. I want to know the 50-something me in a deeper, more intimate, more sacred way.<\/p>\n<p>I desire more time for play, experiences, hobbies, and doing the things that nurture my spirit. For example, I want to walk the El Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile spiritual walk across Spain that should take me thirty days.<\/p>\n<p>I want to attend a deeply spiritual retreat, work with a shaman, and heal the wounded parts of me.<\/p>\n<p>I wish to travel to Europe and explore.<\/p>\n<p>I hope for more walks in nature and time to just take in the sweetness of life all around me.<\/p>\n<p>But I&#8217;m secretly worried I will keep putting these aspirations off. I&#8217;m scared to leave my dogs for four weeks! The hubby will be fine, but my dogs? They are glued to me.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m afraid I won&#8217;t have the courage to attend the Bali Retreat, which has been on my vision board for ten years! Will I take the leap and go to Bali for two weeks this fall, or will I chicken out?<\/p>\n<p>Ugg&#8230;I hope I start my 50s by saying <strong>&#8220;YES&#8221;<\/strong> to things that make me feel alive. I want to quit making excuses for not doing &#8220;the things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I want to fall even more in love with being alive.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-48637\" src=\"https:\/\/strobeleducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9559698f-c8eb-3329-397a-e45a93081267-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"Painting with quotation by Leo.\" width=\"240\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/strobeleducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9559698f-c8eb-3329-397a-e45a93081267-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/strobeleducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9559698f-c8eb-3329-397a-e45a93081267-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/strobeleducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9559698f-c8eb-3329-397a-e45a93081267-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/strobeleducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9559698f-c8eb-3329-397a-e45a93081267-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/strobeleducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/9559698f-c8eb-3329-397a-e45a93081267.jpg 937w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What do you intend to focus on over these next 10 years? 5 years? 1 year even?
