The Couple's Retirement Puzzle. 10 Must-Have Conversations for Creating an Amazing New Life Together I have known Dori Mintzer for awhile now and in the fall of 2017 I finally had the pleasure to meet her in person. We were both presenters at a Boomer Conference in Portland Maine. We had a wonderful lunch sitting outdoors enjoying a beautiful fall day. She gave me this book and signed it for me "Enjoy your journey". Dori and Roberta have written a very upbeat, optimistic, practical book … [Read more...]
I’ve Been Thinking…Reflections, Prayers, and Meditations for a Meaningful Life. By Maria Shiver
I heard an interview with Maria Shiver and was so impressed with her commitment to meditation, mindfulness, and a search for a meaningful life that I had to buy the book.

My good friend and backpacking buddy, Howard, sent me this book right before he clicked off another couple hundred miles of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT).

We really do have stages in our career development that feel like "winter"... a bit lost and uncertain about the future, … [Read more...]
Leonardo Da Vinci. By Walter Isaacson
I knew Leonardo Da Vinci was a great painter and a brilliant inventor, but I really had no idea of how curious and brilliant he was until I read this book. Walter Isaacson does a great job of taking you through Leonardo's life and gives an insight into this amazing man who was curious beyond belief and possibly a little ADD or ADHD. He never finished a book. He often did not finish paintings. He carried the Mona Lisa around with him for 13 years...adding a touch here...a brush stroke there … [Read more...]
