After more than fifty years of marriage, we took a “leap of faith” and made a series of major changes in our lives. We also wrote a book about the process titled “Home Sweet Apartment … Getting Rightsized in Our Seventies.” For senior citizens, making the willing choice to “Rightsize” their lives can be a challenge. Done smartly, though, the outcome can be deeply rewarding. As this book suggests, the journey begins with a clear vision of what an ideal lifestyle looks like and then, while keeping that goal in focus, taking intelligent steps forward. Using our personal experience, we describe how – while both in our seventies – we sold our home, moved to an “Over-55” apartment community, got rid of a lot of accumulated “stuff,” and fashioned a lifestyle of reduced stress and increased personal contentment. This book outlines steps for a comfortable relocation, strategies for letting go of “stuff,” managing the stress of a major lifestyle change, and making wise choices about what is important in life. This new book is now available on Amazon in both Paperback and Kindle versions.

Woodstock Book Now Available at The Museum at Bethel Woods
We are very excited about the recent good news that the book Dear Hippie … We Met at Woodstock is now available for purchase at the Museum at Bethel Woods in New York. This lovely facility – which is located on the grounds of the 1969 Woodstock Festival – does a wonderful job of collecting, tending and preserving the history of that iconic event. The setting is beautiful, and fond memories abound. For those who were there, this museum provides a wonderful trip down memory lane (especially if memories are a bit vague). For those who weren’t there but want to know about the event itself along with a sense of the times, this facility is outstanding. Their site can be found and enjoyed at bethelwoodscenter.org
