How to Survive Retirement

NOW in PRINT and an eBook

Are you thinking about retirement ?
Or already retired?

You have to find fun, excitement, and joy in your days. 40 years to achieve the retirement goal, and you are not happy, you don’t know what to do all day? YOU need a plan.

Husband and I retired early, he was 57, and I was 55. Most people hear us say our ages and they ask, “What do you do all day?” VERY, very rarely do they ask, “How do you afford it?” This book has NO money talk, it’s all about happiness. Now in Print and eBook ! !

To me that is hilarious: before retirement you plan financially, you plan the date, but you don’t take time to figure out what you want to do for 20-30 years of retirement. I have seen it now for five years. How to Survive Retirement

Everyone thinks that you magically know how to retire. YOU DON’T but my book will help you think through what you need and what you want for YOUR life. No money talk, this is all ideas to make your 20-30 years of retirement what you want and need it to be for years of joy. Retirement is talked about just as going off to college is.

PLEASE retire happy!
“If you are unhappy….us other old people don’t want to be around you.”

The Anxiety of Anxiety – My New Book

Happy is my Silent Prayer to Quiet my Mind

I know of what I speak. My new book is what I have learned and my process through The Anxiety of Anxiety.
My entire life it was something I dealt with quietly, internally and even sometimes loudly. Never spoken of, not talked about until I happened upon my now doctor at sixty.

THE ANXIETY OF ANXIETY
Journey of Self-Care and Slowing Down,
My fourteen step plan. I am not a doctor, but this is now I did it.

Printed Copy and eBook

I started Slow and Self-Care early in 2018, it’s been an on-going project. I’ve fallen short a few times, but always gathered myself up and started again. The Anxiety of Anxiety

My entire life it was something I dealt with quietly, internally and even sometimes loudly. Never spoken of, not talked about until I happened upon my now doctor at sixty.
NO one will be free of stress, but you must learn to live and go about life with it. You need to make yourself first, this is terribly hard and still today, I quite myself, listen to myself and do what is need for me. Learn my tricks, my silent word prayer, mine is HAPPY ! over and over, hundreds of times in my mind.
Slowing Down has been VERY rewarding. Look around see what is around you, and SLOW is 30 seconds, not minutes slow, when you slow down YOU become first in your own world.
