I’m “officially” retired for a year now and it’s great!! So glad I don’t need to work for money anymore. That’s the biggest change to my lifestyle.

I don’t have any regrets, because I realize it’s all been a part of my inspired evolution. Of course I would do some things different now, yet those things have become valuable learning experiences to me.

I’ve always been very adventurous and creative, and now it’s my full time occupation.

Last couple of summers I’ve lived a somewhat nomadic van-life on the west coast. Almost all my friends are younger, wellness focused and free spirits.

I’m certainly not a typical retiree—more of a hippy or gypsy.

To me, steering clear of addiction, focusing on holistic wellness, being creative and of service are fundamental to a good life, especially for/in retirement.
