We only have two lives. The second one begins when we realize we only have one.
- CONFUCIUS
Welcome to The Second Act Project
- aka The SAP -
a safe space filled with inspiring stories of courage, compassion & kindness, in the face of life’s changes.
Life can present new sets of challenges as we age, and sometimes we all need a little inspiration (and a community) to keep going.
The SAP is a place to inspire you to keep putting one foot in front of the other when you feel your life has been turned upside down.
Rest here for a while. You belong here.
Our Mission: Own your SAP.
Gratitude
Inner peace comes with finding gratitude. When my grandmother died at 98 years of age, these were some of her final words: “I am so lucky.” I believe that is the ultimate goal for us all, to find a deep gratitude for life right until our final breath. May the stories you read here, on the Second Act Project, help you on that road to seeing what life has given you.
Empowerment
What will be your Second Act? Maybe you want to compete in a major competition, or launch a business, or turn a hobby into your life’s work, or maybe you have a creative spark to share with the world. All big ideas and leaps of faith need support, guidance, and a community of like-minded people to help you get where you want to be. May The Second Act Project empower your dreams.
Empathy
The world needs more empathy, especially right now. You cannot embark on your hero’s journey without a great deal of empathy for those who may have lost themselves along the way. The world is sometimes a cold hard place; may The Second Act Project help to light it up with warmth, and give those who share here a soft place to land.
