When I was young I use to rearrange my room. Often! Every month I would clean out all the cobwebs, dust off the window ledge, and rearrange the furniture. When I started moving things around I never knew where my furniture would end up. It was like my own personal adventure. I loved the fresh clean feeling it left me with and the change in perspective it gave me.

Old habits die hard. Now, every so many months I re-invent my life. It seems crazy to some, I know. Why would I go about constantly shifting my life, my environment, or my role, making changes and doing things my way? Let me tell you why…reinvention is my look back, like a trip down memory lane. It is exciting and one of the most rewarding parts of my life. It is like cleaning out a closet, dusting off the cobwebs, and rearranging the furniture, I get to look through old memories, find treasures, and discover a few lost coins under the cushions.

Reinvention is my look back, but it is also my fresh start. That new look from a new direction about what I really want! I get to de-clutter, get rid of the things that get in my way, and making it easier to get to the things I want. Most of all, I get an appreciation of what I have and a clear view of what I really want.

I may be grown-up now (or at least I claim to be), but reinventing myself still makes me happy. A new place, a new role, and a new adventure! You might say is it an evolution that gives me a fresh look at life, a new set of goals to reach for, and a sense of excitement about what’s next. How will you reinvent yourself this year?
