OFFICIALLY TAKING THE “B” WORD OUT OF MY VOCABULARY

Now I know what you’re thinking…..but the “B” word I’m talking about is BUSY!

Thinking back I can remember a time in my life when I believed that my happiness revolved around how busy I was.  If I wasn’t busy….something had to be wrong with me.  And I had equated and perfected in my mind that if I was busy, I was using my time wisely.  At the end of the day, it was purely a validation thing for me….and proving to myself that I was valuable.  I had the mindset that the busier I was, the more successful I would be, and any threat to my productivity was letting myself down…

YOU’RE NEVER TOO OLD
& IT’S NEVER TOO LATE

You’re entering midlife—the “big five-oh” may be looming or may have come and gone. You find yourself standing on the edge of the high dive wishing you could cannonball with fearless exhilaration like you did when you were ten. But you’re frozen. What’s holding you back? Fear of the unknown? Procrastination? Self-doubt? Fear of others judging you? Fear of failing? Amy Schmidt has been there, done that, and still doing some of it.

In Cannonball, Fearlessly Facing Midlife and Beyond, she shares her personal stories, and those of other women, to help arm us with insights and inspiration to cannonball fearlessly into the rest of our lives with the biggest splash possible. Amy is the real deal—disarmingly open, honest, and relatable. She sometimes feels fat. She can be a perfectionist. She can procrastinate and she sometimes forgets to love herself. But as she says, “I am a work in progress,” and most days she feels “absolutelyfreaking” amazing. Amy is the BFF you want climbing each rung of that ladder with you and encouraging you to cannonball into the next best phase of your life.
