How To Have A Fabulous Midlife Crisis

A User's Guide to Dusting Off Your Dreams and Making Them Happen

This is a user’s manual and guide to dusting off your dreams and making them happen. Full of writing exercises and tips from the author of the humorous memoir series 'A Rosie Life In Italy' and romantic comedy; ‘Tilly Fox’s Fabulous Midlife Crisis’.

This guide is not about putting your dreams out there and hoping the universe will make them happen, it is about taking control and giving the universe a helping hand in making your dream life become your real life.

When I was 41, I was living in the cheapest house available in Ireland with a colander for a roof, rats above our bedroom ceiling, and not enough money to pay for my kid’s school bus fare.

In the previous ten years, I had been through a heap of life challenges. I was going through a midlife crisis and I wanted an instruction manual to show me how to get on the path to my dream life and get out of the rut and the downward spin my life seemed to be doing on repeat cycle. I couldn’t find one, so I created my own. I called it ‘How To Have A Fabulous Midlife Crisis’.

I am now living my dream life, living in a villa by a lake in Italy, writing books, running women’s writing retreats and generally having a fabulous midlife crisis. I put it down to the series of writing exercises I created and followed, to push my life onto a better track. I recently found the manual I created and looking back I can see how each exercise worked to get me to where I am. So I have decided to tidy it up and put it out there for others to try its magic.
