Do you know when you are triggered?

April 17, 2021 Peta Sklarz

I don’t have to feel dirty just because someone brought their dirt to me. It is not mine to take. Confidence happens over time. It isn’t like I can read a book or have an experience and suddenly I am […]

My first year of being a divorced woman

April 4, 2021 Peta Sklarz

The struggle within me to change and fix myself manifested into relationships where I was trying to fix the other person. So, I am working on being kinder to myself and creating a safe space of acceptance within me, for […]

On Friday I was the only one to show up to the 4:00 Yoga on the Beach class. As I walked up I saw the petite french instructor stretching on her mat in the sand with the ocean waves glistening […]

Changing Toxic Patterns is hard

March 20, 2021 Peta Sklarz

I don’t have to run away anymore. I don’t have to stuff all my emotions down so that I can’t feel them in order to get through the day. I don’t have to live my life in confusion and anxiety […]

My New Addiction

December 8, 2018 Peta Sklarz

2018! Where did the year go?  I have been reflecting a lot about where I was at the beginning of this year. I know I was in a completely different place.  But where?  I was scared for sure!  Every new […]

I can hear myself think

September 22, 2018 Peta Sklarz

My house is quiet.  A quietness I would have been so grateful for when my daughter was a baby.  I never got quiet unless by some miracle she took a nap,   I got all the tidying up done, was able […]

And only the beauty remains

September 15, 2018 Peta Sklarz

I sat on the bed in the hotel room and stared at the Apple laptop I had just purchased.  I tapped on some random keys to try and make something happen.  Where is the Microsoft Word and Excel? I have […]

Moving on

July 28, 2018 Peta Sklarz

When my life first started to unravel I decided the answer was to move to Redondo Beach which is close to Los Angeles.  I had lived there until I was 7 years old and hadn’t been back. But when my […]

Finding me

May 5, 2018 Peta Sklarz

So, I always hear the term “find yourself”, and I wonder what that means.   I know that I feel like I am on a journey to find the real me,  but I am sitting right here so how far do […]

I am a warrior

April 28, 2018 Peta Sklarz

My daughter just turned 20, and I am trying my best to give her good advice and point her in the right direction.  It’s a fine line to walk between letting go and wanting her not to be hurt.  But […]

Just be yourself

March 18, 2018 Peta Sklarz

I hear the phrase all the time, “just be yourself”, as if after years of hiding myself and creating a persona to navigate the world, it will all of a sudden fall away like a snake shedding its skin and […]

The equation of marriage: 1 + 1 = your life.

February 4, 2018 Peta Sklarz

Marriage.  It is a wonderful, miraculous state.  The institution of marriage.  Institution sounds so cold.  And marriage is anything but cold.  I have never been a relationship girl, I grew up with parents that didn’t like each other and stayed […]

Who decided that women live in nests?

January 22, 2018 Peta Sklarz

I am an empty nester.  What does that mean? My nest is empty? I guess I didn’t realize I was living in a nest, but okay.  What I do know is that my daughter is a sophomore in college living […]

midlife crisis
I am sharing my journey because I feel compelled to help others out of the lonely place where I once lived.
Welcome!
midlife
All women are born Powerful, but we give away our power so freely that no one values it, not even us. My message is the reclaiming of our energy and power, and being the woman we were born to be!

This is my personal blog (since 2018) where I  publish a post weekly so that you can follow my journey to finding my voice, creating boundaries, and ending toxic entanglements in midlife.  In the last 6 years I  have changed everything about myself, and I  have a completely different life that speaks to my authentic self.

My first love is my writing, but through my writing I  rediscovered my artistic side and over the last several years I  have sold my original art, and pre-covid I  did art shows.

My first art show ‘The Queens – Awakening the Feminine Energy within’ was on  July 25, 2019 at Nucleus Gallery in Portland Oregon.

My second art show “LA Queens – the beautiful women of LA’ was on September 21st in Santa Monica.

My 3rd art show was December 18th in Downtown LA. I  was invited to be a part of the RAW –  Natural Born Artists show.

Due to the pandemic my Art Shows are on pause.
