What If My World Has Changed?

Posted by admin on Apr 14, 2014 in Change the World, Re imagine your life, Re-invent yourself, Reboot your career, Renew your spirit, Third Age | 0 comments I lost my job. I quit my job. I got promoted; I got demoted. My spouse/significant other died or became disabled. I became disabled. My child left home; my child came back home. With a baby. My world has changed. Does this have the ring of truth for you? We have all experienced change. After all, we live in a changeable world. Why should we be surprised when things change? When things stay the...

You Can Change

Posted by admin on Apr 13, 2014 in Re imagine your life, Re-invent yourself, Third Age | 0 comments Yesterday I wrote about changing the world. My critics tell me that’s too big a leap for them.

We have decided “Not TV”. This started when he came home one evening and announced he didn’t want to watch TV. “I don’t want to watch other people’s lives.
