Webster’s definition of reinvention is:

I realize that all of life is about reinventing myself….defining and redefining who I am based on life experiences, inner revelations and maturity.
I have reinvented myself many times……a child moving into Junior High (that is what we called it back in the day!). A teen moving into a new high school. A graduate going into college and then into the working world. A woman becoming a wife and a mother. A stay at home mom becoming a working woman once again. A mother moving into empty nest years. A wife with a marriage that goes through crises and the day in and day out of daily life. Living on my own, living with my husband, living in a community, living with dogs, cats, fish and kids.
Reinvention is exciting, uncomfortable and necessary as a part of life’s journey. Today, I will see where this reinvention takes me and look forward to working towards a better version of me!
