About

​

This is the blog of a single woman in the midst of a mid-life crisis. Turning 40 made me realize it was time to get my sh*t together.  A pandemic's worth of self-help books, podcasts, and self-reflection has given me some insight into where I have been and where I hope to go.  Because you may not have the time, energy, or patience to dive deep on your own, I am offering to take you along for the ride.  I promise only rambling thoughts, but maybe we will learn something anyway.

Why "Carts In The Wild"?

I am a shopping cart...

ordinary

familiar

common

recognizable

But also, I am 

useful

helpful

necessary

Sometimes I run smoothly, sometimes I have a wonky wheel. Sometimes I am full to the brim, sometimes I am empty.

​

A cart out of place, a cart left in the wild, may one day appear

lonely

abandoned

forgotten

But on another day, that same cart may appear

adventurous

curious

special

unique

​

It is ok to be ordinary, it is ok to stand out only occasionally--because common things are still important, needed, sought after.

​

Even if we are special only briefly, or only to one person, we are still special.
