Meaningful Midlife: Create a life you love! Here's your Midweek check-in!↓ |
Hi, Hello Reader, At the recommendation of a friend, I was listening to a TEDx talk by Dr. Riley Moynes on the phases of retirement. It struck me that these phases are very similar to what we go through when the kids leave home. But over time, we become bored with this scenario which leads us into Phase Two. We search for things that make life more meaningful, such as writing a book, learning a new skill or taking up a new hobby. We search for ways to contribute, such as volunteering at a hospital, school or animal shelter. Not all of these trials will work, but that's okay. Just keep moving forward, not backward. The things that will bring you the most joy are probably those things that align with your values. That's it for now! |

For those of us in the northern hemisphere, signs of spring are beginning to appear (thank goodness!) and for those in the southern hemisphere, I imagine that fall is approaching! What month would be considered the dog days of summer in Australia and New Zealand? I would love to know!I haven't written about caregiving for a while but that was actually the subject of my blog when I began it in 2008. At that time I was caregiving for my father who had...
Shelley Webb January 1, 2024 Meaningful Midlife: Create a life you love! ↓ Hi, Hello Reader, Happy New Year! Can you believe that it's already 2024?! I'm not sure about you but it seems that as we get older, the years fly by faster and faster!Do you choose a word theme for the year? I used to but now I choose 3 words. I learned about the "My 3 Words" concept ( #my3words ) concept on Twitter in 2008. It's a concept created by author, speaker and Chief of Staff at Appfire, Chris Brogan. I know...
