A Powerful Rebirth and Personal Transformation or Midlife Crisis?

Just a year away from turning 50, I am now the proud owner of a Can-Am! I even passed the written exam to obtain my motorcycle permit—something I never thought I would do in my life. Is this a powerful personal transformation, a new hobby, or just a classic midlife crisis?

This is a new hobby my husband and I get to enjoy together. Not only I get to enjoy it with him but his brothers and our sister in-law that also ride motorcycles. Since we moved to North Carolina, they have been asking when we were going to join the "pack". I've never been interested in a two-wheeled motorcycle; still not. So, we started looking into the 3-wheel options. I had an opportunity to test-drive one, and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it- there was no turning back!

Through this experience, I have learned that turning 50 isn't about slowing down; it's about rewriting the story. Passing my motorcycle permit exam and bringing home a Can-Am is proof that you can always surprise yourself. This isn't a midlife crisis—it's the next chapter of the Rising Phoenix, and the view from the open road has never looked brighter.
