Wilma Ham : MyBlogHer Profile

For half a century I lived from a fixed; ‘this is how you do it’.
I did what was expected from me.

In the second half of my life I live from; ‘is there another way to do this?’ and I do what I love.

I am a career counselor by trade . . . I’ve seen enough to know that the question; ‘is there another way to do this?’ is a valid one. Many times the obvious road didn’t work for people; it didn’t get them there, they were actually looking for another way!

So here I am, over 50.
I am seeing my daughters grow up to be beautiful young women, I am divorced, I now have a second relationship that works . . . and I am thrilled about the amazing new explanations that are around nowadays that I use as guides to explore ‘other ways to do this’.

I have grown to love this question ‘is there another way to do this?’ so much.
It is opening up whole new worlds for me.

Here is a sense of what I mean:

Food is no longer the same; it now nurtures. I grow my own food as much as possible, now I have a new respect for what nature offers, my health and the planet Earth. The food I eat nurtures my body, mind and soul and leaves the Earth clean and green too!

Relationships are no longer the same either. I found my voice in my relationship and we now compliment each other.
This is big for me; both of us are growing into our greatness, nobody is left behind. BTW my friendships have also changed for the better, now I am so much clearer about what contributing means. In my world 'one way streets' have vanished.

My attitude about work has changed dramatically.
I love my work after being brave enough to get into business! I adore doing it our way.

I am thrilled to be a founder of Women Like Me which is an online learning community that provides new explanations and a ‘how to’ for conscious women who desire to live life from the question ‘is there another way to do this?’ I work in heaven, at home surrounded by nature venturing in cyberspace with the best people.

Holidays have become a blast. I sea kayak, camp and tramp. I am physically spending my holidays in perfect places that could be pictures on one of those nature calendars.

AND I am no longer the same! This is what excites me the most; it means that I am growing!

So there, you have the basics about me.
