My Retirement Lifestyle

When I retired two and a half years ago, I was more than ready to have more time to spend with the people and things I love. I am fortunate to have had a career I was passionate about. However, as I climbed the ranks from classroom teacher, to school administrator, to district administrator, and finally to superintendent of schools – the more the time I had outside of work continued to decline.

As I was contemplating retirement, there seemed to be a school of thought that retirement would be a difficult transition for someone with such a demanding career. I even wondered myself if I would find the transition to be challenging. However, once the decision was made, I never looked back. I began to embrace all the things I had little time for as my career had progressed: my family, my grandchildren, my friends, traveling, reading, playing the piano, cooking, creating recipes, hiking, sewing, entertaining, creative projects, and the list goes on.

My retirement lifestyle blog is a passion project of mine; a way to creatively express myself in writing and share how I’m enjoying my life in retirement. Whether you’re thinking about retirement or already retired, I hope you’ll find inspiration in my blog to enrich your own retirement journey!
