What’s next?  How will I cope?  These are some of the questions I asked myself post-retirement. Into the seeming void stepped a cadre of authors who offered their wisdom about the second half of life.  Below is a short list of writers who have held my hand and supported me through my uncertainty to exploring my options and beginning my inner journey which characterizes so much of my life these days. Websites and other resources will be shared at the Conversation Series and Workshops.
