Thank you to Sue at Sizzling Towards 60 & Beyond for inviting me to discuss 'When Thriving turns into Surviving'. Please join me at Sue's and let me know what you do to get back… Continue reading When ‘Thriving’ Turns into ‘Surviving’

On a warm summer’s evening last June, Richard and I gathered at a nearby beachfront enjoying drinks and appetizers with others who had recently moved to Vancouver Island. The air vibrated with everyone's excitement with their new (or relatively new) surroundings. As most of us had finally reached retirement, the air was also filled with… Continue reading Seize Life

I had been absent from the blogging scene for the better part of a year, but… Continue reading Sunday Guest Post Series: An Encore Voyage
In an attempt to make a regular commitment to repost a positive news story each month, I asked readers what heartwarming tales they had heard recently. If the truth be told, I was finding it hard to find positive, inspiring stories in the media around me. And you delivered! • Susan posted about Sir Nicholas… Continue reading It’s our Small Actions that Often Speak the Loudest
How would I describe myself? Creative, quirky and passionate. Those three words sum me up in a rather quick fashion. Though I am sure many people who have known me over the years could add a few more words to that list! I have done many things in my life, made some fantastic decisions and… Continue reading Sunday Guest Post Series: Global Housesitter x2
When you hear the expression 'blogging holiday' you might imagine a break from online reading and writing. For me, my most recent experience with this term was the exact opposite.
