Add what you have tried and even left.
I left a book group because I discovered I needed something to get me moving and not sitting. I went back to yoga and yes it really hurt since I had been away for awhile. Now it feels fantastic. I have to push myself to get to class at night when I would rather do nothing.
Maybe I will try a swim class when it gets warmer, or not.
So post your trial and error reinventions or email me, natalie@emptynestsupport.com

Change happens. No one needs to go through it alone. I am passionate about helping people make steps and strides when they are called to change.
