A warning: This blog post is back to the tangent based on my current exploration into feminist writing. If this type of information is not of interest to you, I’ll return to more “retirement transition – life journey” stuff soon. This post begins a series on the area I’ve been exploring - learning about our … Continue reading An Emerging Feminine Consciousness
Just like in my early days of retirement transition, I’m dealing with a roller coaster of emotions. The Big Move was a big change and there are still days when I think, “Oh, we’ll be heading back to Ohio soon.” But we are not. That moment often stops me in my tracks. That feeling of … Continue reading A Mid-Winter Review
I saw a quote (on Facebook) that said something like, “Don’t worry about who doesn’t like you, who has more, or who is doing what. Cherish what you have - the relationships you have, the time you have, the things you have/do. Embrace what you are doing. Embrace who you are.” Sounds great, and yet, … Continue reading Shifting my Self-Limiting Beliefs
I am back to a more normal retirement journey conversation this week. My current life quandaries: When does it get to be too much? How do I keep track of all the new people I'm meeting and who likes what? Do I publish controversial blog posts? When will I feel comfortable enough to begin doing … Continue reading When is it too much?

For me, planning is a creative and motivating activity. It helps give shape to my dreams/visions and allows me to build structure & routine. Plans for me are not set in stone – I am fine (usually) with changing plans along the way. I’ve learned that I am not great with having day after day … Continue reading Action Plan 2022
As an avid (compulsive?) planner, I tend to overdo things at times. I’ve found I’m doing that with my end-of-the-year reviews. I’m going to say, “ I tried various approaches”, as it sounds so much better! A hold-over from my career perhaps, but I do think a look back is helpful before a plan forward. … Continue reading More Year-End-Review
I was inspired by Christie on So what? Now What? (link post here ) I enjoy reading other people’s gratitude lists as they make me more aware of things I too am grateful for. Christie always uses photos in her gratitude posts and I’ve said I would use more imbedded photos now that I learned … Continue reading Fall Gratitude
This is a tangent from my normal posts. I’m not one to join in on thematic link parties. But when I saw the “Festive Bon Bons Link Party” co-hosted by a series of my blogging buddies (Deb from Deb’s World, Jo from And Anyways, Donna from Retirement Reflections and Sue from WomenLivingWellAfter50), I was intrigued. I’m struggling to … Continue reading Christmas Traditions
