18. Starting Again With A Blank Canvas-Donna Spatidol

Donna shares her life journey, and starting again with a blank canvas, in such a warm conversation with me. At 39, she suddenly became a widow and her life changed...instantly! She lived in shock and grief for many years, while raising her two precious children, working and navigating her new normal. After becoming an empty nester, she decided to live life on her terms. So she packed up her belongings, her two dogs and moved to Cape Cod - where she knew no one! She started painting, saying yes to life, made friends and found herself in the midst of the healing beauty of the Cape. She plays trivia, has dinner parties, does the best Saturday morning coffee dances on Instagram and has been brave in all of her adventures. You will want to be Donna after you are done listening to our conversation! Donna is warm, open and honest. I felt like I was having a conversation with my sister. Listen for her golden nuggets of wisdom: The Gift of the Cape Follow the breadcrumbs Listen to your heart Never give up Be kind Give lots of love, hugs and grace You have permission to reinvent yourself and say yes to you!
