A new hubby I love more and more every day ... and the dream job I've been waiting for - starting up the operation of an amzing special event venue in the Sierra foothills of California that looks like a Tuscan villa .... the new owner handed me the keys a month ago and said, I don't want to have anything to do with it ... just make me money ... Can you sing, " Heaven, I'm in heaven" ..... yay me! at just shy of 62 years old! IttyBittyBoomer ...

(When the Ganges rises, the owner has to move all his books to higher shelves. I<br />could help with that!) I'd even teach journalism (although I don't know what I'd tell them about future employment)<br />at Benares University, the largest university in Asia. The facts that India is an English-speaking country and a<br />democracy makes this second life fantasy more reasonable.<br /><br />Don't be afraid to leave your comfort zone when thinking about your next life.

Corporate communications was career #1 through my mid-40s; parenting three adopted kids (two adopted at older ages) was career #2 which is just about winding down. Career #3 has started with teaching and mentoring at-risk young adults at a career college in how to be better communicators (far more rewarding than coaching CEOs) but might also include writing a book...or two.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702095085461337608.post-68894342167179357492012-08-22T14:13:22.509-04:002012-08-22T14:13:22.509-04:00I'm in the process of starting my second caree...I'm in the process of starting my second career as a social worker.

I'd like to work with children in art as therapy. Judith, as a retired floral shop owner, I can't tell you how many times my customers would come into my shop, stop three steps in and take a deep breath...then spend several minutes gazing at the colorful arrangements in the cooler and gently touching the green and blooming plants. Good memories, for sure. Maybe I could be a tour guide for secondlivesclub with bostonartzmomma....who speaks fluent Italian!!
