Prologue –
A Second Chance
Life can be intense and complicated. Before you know it, three-quarters of your life feels like it’s gone.
Sometimes I look around and wonder if I’ve accomplished enough. Compared to the people around me, I often feel like I’ve fallen behind.
I ask myself the same question over and over:
Is it too late to start over in my early forties?
Is it too late for a second chance?

A second chance to chase my dreams, my desires, and the life I’ve always imagined.
For years, I was told “no.” Maybe those “no’s” weren’t the end of my story.
Maybe forty-one isn’t the end.
Maybe it’s the beginning.
There are so many things I still want to do. I don’t know exactly where to start, but I know I have to start somewhere.
So, journal, I want you to be the eyewitness to my life.
Starting tomorrow, you’ll witness the second inning of my story.
