I recently put myself back out there and let's just say that I may give up dating altogether and just start collecting cats.   I've been talking a lot recently about changing chapters (breaking up with previous versions of yourself, mostly because I'm in the midst of yet another chapter change--one that promises to be really, really good. What makes this one different is that I'm flowing into this one with ease and grace because of the lessons I've learned. Changing chapters doesn't have to be hard when you know how to quickly refocus.   Interestingly, I've had chats with many, many people over the past few months who all seem to be changing chapters due to retirement, job loss, career moves, ending of a relationship, a shift in family dynamics, relocating, or simply the desire to change their lives. Some of the changes are by choice, some are by chance.   While some chapter changes can be for happy reasons, the downside and common theme of breaking up and changing chapters--or wanting to change chapters--is feeling lost, stuck, alone, and anxious. What can make things even more stressful is that you can have multiple changes occurring at the same time.
