The Space Between Letting Go and Becoming
Where reinvention begins with a whisper, a nudge, or sometimes, a sledgehammer.
“Whatever you can do or dream you can. Begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you’ve ever felt stuck either creatively, emotionally, or in your work, this space is for you. Whether navigating change, chasing a long-held dream, or reinventing what fulfillment looks like, you’ve found a kindred corner of the internet.
Together, we celebrate curiosity, courage, community, and the quiet magic of synchronicity, not as grand theories but as lived experiences. I hope you’ll feel seen, supported, and a little more courageous about the changes life offers to or demands of you.
What You’ll Find Here
Real-life stories of reinvention, resilience, and the magic of getting unstuck. This is a blog for readers who are ready to:
Get unstuck in life, identity, and what fulfillment "should" look like.
Reimagine aging as expansion, not limitation.
Explore reinvention—creative, personal, spiritual, or job-related.
Find joy and meaning through community and sharing.
Trust synchronicity as a guide.
Why Substack? Why Now?
I recently stumbled across a quote in New Happy that hit me like a bolt:
“Take what you have learned and pass it on.”
The very next day, a friend shared her first Substack post. I'd never heard of it. But as I explored, something clicked. That’s how synchronicity works—and here we are.
About Me
Thirty years ago, at age 51, I left Silicon Valley and landed in Ajijic, Mexico. I’ve been a single mother, a seven-time career reinventor, and a lifelong explorer. Since 2020, I’ve published two books on reinvention and interviewed hundreds who’ve dared to venture into the unknown.
I’ve learned how and why we change, again and again, with curiosity, courage, creativity, and commitment. (How’s that for four C’s?)
Among us, we’ll explore real stories of reinvention, resilience, and the surprising ways we get unstuck.

My Promise to You
To write weekly blogs that meet someone exactly where they are.
An idea that softens a doubt
A story that shifts a decision
One sentence that lingers, quietly
That’s harder to measure. But I believe it matters more.
Have a great Day!

This is great, Blue! Many years ago, you not only inspired me, you “accompanied” me when I made the move to Ajijic. I’m so happy to join your community here on substack! I’m 83 now and in a retirement place in NW Washington and am definitely stuck in that place between living in the past and knowing I need to move forward. If anyone can help me, it’s you and this community. Thank!
You have truly found a supportive space to share your wisdom. I’m so impressed!!
