When I was single and in my 40's, I told my friends, I was looking for a relationship with a nice easy flow, a give and receive relationship, where conflict was not the main event. What I found interesting is how many of my single friends were looking for a partner who challenged them. Don't get me wrong, I wanted a partner who had an opinion, but I was not longer looking for a challenging man to deal with. Last weekend I was in Canmore for the Folk Fest and decided to duck out  for a nice long walk along the river. As I was standing on a bridge, looking over the railing at the river, I thought of the term " going with the flow".  While I was watching the river, I realized that even when you are going with the flow or with the current, there will still be challenges. There may be a big rock, a fallen branch or something even...

There is so much talk about finding your passion, stepping out of your comfort zone...etc, etc. What does all that really mean? Some people are very good at taking risks and staying positive through the challenges. Then there are the people who think that if you do what you are passionate about, it will be easy, comfortable, a natural process. It can be, but don't be fooled you will be challenged and you may even fail. The growth is in the challenges, can you overcome them and what do you learn from them? Your self-esteem and self-confidence will be tested, but the beautiful part is the growth that happens when you come through it. It is so important to believe in what you are doing and why you are doing it. A friend of mine told me recently that the most important thing is to know who you are and what your intention is. I get asked all the time, why I do what I do with Fabulous@50 and sometimes I really don't know what to say. It is obviously my passion and I am challenged constantly. I get great pleasure in seeing other people happy and seeing the personal growth....
