We were born with curiosity, imagination and a love to play. These traits tend to fade as the burdens, roles and responsibilities of life weigh heavy on our minds. We can become entrenched in our routines maneuvering through our day on autopilot, not remembering the drive to work. Then one day either a life event like becoming an empty nester, a loss of a loved one or some other shift, shines the light on an emptiness and leads us to search for who we are, to find new friendships and to experience the joy of life.
