Welcome to Midlife Melody!!
I’m honored to have you as part of our community of ‘middle dwellers’!
I believe every day has a purpose and though sometimes we may feel stuck in a life that seems out of control, God has planted us right where He wants us.
Right now He wants me right in the middle.
My mission is to find the beauty and joy in all of my moments. I’ve learned (often the hard way) that if I stay focused on finding the hidden blessing in my chaos, the negative ‘everything’ just dissipates.
Beauty can be found in unexpected places, but I will miss it if I don’t slow down. I need beauty in my life. I long for it when I am in the midst of my desperate struggle to meet the changing needs of my family.
Step One
Get to know me and my story. If you’re wondering about this girl with the funny southern name, check out my About page to learn what I believe (which includes Frank Sinatra and TexMex).
I’m living proof of God’s faithfulness and His plan for my life. A landscape colored with regret, and shadowed with depression remains in my rearview mirror.
Then drop me a line and introduce yourself. I’d love to hear from you.
Contact me here.
Step Two
Be part of the community.
Subscribe to the newsletter packed with inspiration for life and living in these middle age years.
I post ‘current events’ and things I love on my Facebook page. I’d love for you to be a part of it.
Beautiful visuals are peaceful to me, and Pinterest is the king of such, as well as a great source of inspiration. I pin wonderful ideas all the time, with you in mind. Take a tour of all my boards there and find ideas for your life and daily living.
If you’d like a glimpse into the beauty I find daily, find me on Instagram.
Step Three
Uncover your passion for intentional living during your ‘middle age’ years – though they will contain some confusion and busyness. Just know that sometimes we’ve got to dig for joy.
Often, we have to dig for information. And, you are never alone my friend! We help each other along the way. Learning is part of the journey in this life.
So what are you struggling with in your midlife? Do you need help caring for your midlife family? Head on over here to discover how to cope with aging parents, a changing midlife marriage, and even adult children.
Do you find yourself in a funk now that your nest is empty? Need some ideas to redefine yourself and stay healthy? This is the place!
Thinking about fixing up your kid’s empty room? Or redecorating your empty nest? How about adjusting your cooking skills to only cooking for two? This is where you need to be!
All in all, my sweet sisters, this new discovery of extra time in our lives is a gift to embrace! So……
Slow down.
Make memories.
Chase connection.
Learn something new.
Find beauty.
………and………
Laugh through the hot flashes.
