As women, our identity shifts throughout our lives. We start as a daughter. Then we may go on to be a sister if our parents decide this. From there many of us take on the identity of a wife or significant other. If we are blessed or pursue expanding our family, we become mothers. Once our children are raised and move along, many of us find ourselves in an empty nest. This is where I have found myself. Alone. However, rather than looking at it as the empty nest syndrome, I want to think of it as an identity shift. I am still a mother, sister, daughter, but outside those labels what is my identity? Throughout the years it has shifted several times. Now I am in my fifties and find myself questioning what this latest identity shift means for me. We often base our identity on who we think we are or want to be. Often times we get so caught up in being a mother, wife, or friend, we lose who we really are. I am continuously trying to find myself outside any labels. My identity has shifted once again, this time I am going to embrace it. I am going to be just me and learn to love me. Hi, I am Stormi. So nice to finally meet you…..
