WWBD-What Would Barb Do?
The theme of transformation resonates deeply with me as I reflect on the inspiring individuals who have not only undergone significant life transformations once but, in some cases, multiple times. The idea of constantly reinventing oneself is a testament to the resilience and capacity for growth within each of us.
The catalyst for a profound self-examination was the departure of my mentor, friend, and “Mom” from this world almost two years ago. This loss prompted me to evaluate my career, forcing me to question the path I wished to pursue in the future. During this period, I asked myself a simple yet powerful question: What Would Barb Do (WWBD)? More importantly, what advice would she offer me in navigating the complexities of life?
The power of transformation is undeniably profound for those who possess the courage to embark on this path. Transformation, by definition, is- a thorough or dramatic change in form or appearance. It is a powerful point capable of ushering positive changes into one's life. The courage lies in taking that pivotal first step toward becoming the best version of oneself. Have you ever contemplated how a single transformation can alter the trajectory of your life's purpose and, consequently, impact those around you? I have witnessed the unbelievable outcomes unfolding when one decides to chart a new course and pursue their dreams.
Barbara Carlyle serves as the model of a person who embodied the essence of purposeful transformation. Her dedication to being the best mother and friend she could be to those around her propelled her to reinvent herself at a stage in life that would intimidate many. Faced with a daunting cancer diagnosis, Barbara not only confronted the challenges head-on but also drew inspiration, which deepened her commitment to life. She knew how to have fun.
As I reflect on her journey, I can't help but acknowledge the profound impact Barb had on countless lives. Her story serves as a potent reminder that transformation is not just about personal growth; it's about the positive ripple effect it creates in the lives of others. On our path to transformation, we elevate ourselves and inspire those around us to embark on their transformative journeys. The legacy of transformative change inspires others to embrace the power of reinvention and create a ripple effect of positive change in the world.
We look forward to sharing stories of others making waves of transformation!
