“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” These words from Winnie the Pooh came to me as I considered how I should say goodbye to you. I will be leaving Retiree Rebels and concentrating on my life as a coach and speaker and workshop presenter. My passions of being a life coach, a midwife for midlife and beyond, or speaking on living life as daring adventure and setting up my dream camp retreats will fill my future days. Would love to hear from you at [email protected] Go Rebels!

When was the last time you were so engrossed in learning something, the time flew by? The luxury of allowing yourself not to scan a piece of information, but truly fit the pieces of learning together in your head, just for you.

Sounds like something out of a fairy tale, no it’s a freedom - the freedom in retirement to learn.

In this episode's "Ask Mary Helen" she answers a question she hears a lot from retirees. What do I do with my time? Time is the one non-renewable resource in our retirement and so the variety of activities are endless and daunting as well.

Her answer: Develop a personal learning project. Listen in on her suggestions.
