View Boomers, empty nesters, and parents have re-invented themselves over the years with birthing new experiences. A room shifts. Life changes whether chosen or delivered. How do you set your unknown for beauty and support? Who would you invite to celebrate and grieve with as you enter a new room of your life? What would

An empty nest parent called shyly tearful about her daughter leaving for college and her not knowing what life will be like in the emptiness. When you leave the familiar to the unknown, tears fall and your inner doubter chats away in your sweet mind. You are not alone. You are on a walk where

Graduations, retirement, job loss, divorce, empty nest, marriage, new career, travel, are transitions. You know where you have been.

Empty nesters and Boomers are taking time for music and to unfold. Time to shift your role. A couple called me to share they are not connecting well, in other words, no sex, and no conversations except the mandatory chat. Have you been in their shoes? Each decided to plan a day in the sun.
