"My Reinvention:" Share Your Story

Many of us tap into a deep well of creativity and confidence in the second half of our lives. We start businesses, launch foundations or develop artistic talents that had long been waiting for a little nurturance.

"It's finally time to do something for me," we say. Or maybe we’re forced to reinvent our lives through unwanted upheavals. Either way, the reinvention journey is full of surprise and risk. And when we finally reap the rewards of our courage and perseverance, we have a story worth telling. Share your reinvention story: sign in (or register for an account, if you haven’t already) and start writing. We’ll review your submissions and publish our favorites here on MORE.com.

After a successful career in real estate and becoming the State of California District Vice President for the Women's Council of Realtors, I decided to do a complete turn around. My 4 children are out of the home and I asked myself, who am I, what do I like, what can I do for myself, and what do I want to leave as a legacy to the universe. After much thought and with the support of my husband, I decided to enter into the field of public speaking with emphasis on leadership development. I loved it. . . but there is so much more that needs to be experienced. Thus, I started Wellington Strategic Resource Group, a company creating and disseminating knowledge and expertise to individuals and businesses, on leadership development, business development, and personal development concepts utilizing resources that maximize strategies for successful, profitable relationships. I now love what I do and feel as though I am helping others realize their potential. Reinvented at 52 and lovin' it.
Sometimes you have to force yourself to take the initiative to pack up and leave. It takes a lot of work to prepare, pack, stop mail, pay bills etc; but, it is worth it. I just took a fabulous trip to Calif and saw people that I have not seen in 3 years and loved it.....Watch our upcoming shows on Ustream.tv Outspoken with Karon is listed after you click on all broadcasts.
