Time for Your Game Changer? Turn on the S.W.I.T.C.H!

Published on January 20, 2021

What's Your Game Changer, asks Carla O'Reilly

Is it time for your Game Changer? After hitting 40, I finally became comfortable in my own skin and it has been an eye-opening, wonderful, freeing experience!

I could care less what people think and realized they were never thinking about me at all. I say what I feel, and what I will waste energy on is getting smaller and smaller. I am grateful for my friends who were with me for a reason, a season, for a lesson, and very few for a lifetime.  Each friend has a special place in my heart and I admire different qualities from each of them.

2019 was a defining year and a game-changer.  I ended an eight-year-long relationship, and if you want to talk about death and grief, I could write a book solely on that.  My tears could have filled an ocean but I put on a smile and released T.U.R.N. O.N. T.H.E. S.W.I.T.C.H!

How poetic and fitting; I was going to have to walk the talk. 

God said to me, “It’s time to see what you’re made of.”

My friend got me a sign that said “Change is Good.” 

I had to change; I had to grow; I had to sit down and decide what I really wanted.

I made a list. I was not playing around anymore. I want the fairy-tale Prince Charming — someone who makes me a priority. I want someone to help decorate the Christmas tree or at least carry it up the stairs. 

My “Game Changer” was to make me a priority, to not settle and to be messy. I am ready to break all the rules I thought I had to follow and have fun while doing it. 

So I challenge you. Not happy? Maybe it’s time for your Game Changer!
