“It takes balls to keep growing
after you’ve grown up.”
I moved to New York, by choice, at age 60 and didn’t know a soul. I did it all and all by myself. I found it so exhilarating. Discovering new places and new places and new people gets my endorphins flowing and my solo dates helped me become a citizen of the city and I made a few great friends along the way.

I stopped going out and since I work from home, let's just say I wasn't having that much fun. So here I am, back in the saddle, Not just exploring but committed to making sure my fourth chapter - and yours- are exciting, invigorating and fun!
