Next Chapter RC

- I'm a "retirement coach," which just means I help people figure out what their retirement could look like in real, practical terms. I'm also kind of a retirement junkie—I love reading up on ways to make the most of this new chapter, and I love chatting with others about all the possibilities out there.
- But I'm not a consultant; I don't have all the answers. In fact, I'm still figuring things out for myself. My approach is to work on my own life as best as I can, learning from both the successes and the challenges, and sharing what I've learned with others who might find it helpful. I think of it as building my own lighthouse: I turn on the light where I’m grounded, shining it in ways unique to me. This light might be helpful to others, or it might not—and that’s okay.
- I do think there are a few things we all have in common though, no matter where we are in our lives. We all need a sense of purpose, a solid idea of who we are, some fun pursuits and interests, a few good friends and family to share life with, a desire to stay healthy, and probably a few other areas as well. My life and light shine best when there is some balance and hope in EACH of these areas. So, may your life and light shine bright.
