Beginning The Second Half

In the coming weeks, the color of the leaves was not the only thing that was changing. Our familiar hectic family routine was suddenly replaced with new vistas and opportunities. We both jumped into fall activities with a can-do attitude that quickly took over our calendar and lives. Suddenly all the things we had delayed until the kids left home were now possibilities. In record time, we accepted too many conferences, writing projects, and speaking engagements. Claudia continued with her parenting programs across the country.

Here we were, new inductees into the empty nest and just as tired and over committed as ever. One morning we were both totally exhausted. As we sat as our breakfast table, staring as each other over two cups of coffee, we agreed that something had to give – and we didn’t want it to be our marriage.
