My Next Chapter: Choosing Myself at 47

At 47, I’m stepping into a chapter I once had to put on hold. From losing my mother at 13, to becoming a NICU mom at 20, to caring for dying parents and building a life from the ground up — every season has shaped the woman I am today. Now I’m choosing myself again, returning for my RN, and rewriting the future I once thought slipped away. This is the beginning of my next chapter.
