Hello! I am Joni ~ Welcome to my blog.

Navigating midlife and beyond creates some changes and challenges. Yet, I am also discovering a new sense of peace and purpose. With a passion for reading and a lifelong desire to write, sharing my experiences through the written word is a natural inclination. I created this space to share fun and positive ways to enjoy the sweet life ahead. I am recently retired, in a new state and embarking on a quest to make the most out of the upcoming years. I welcome you on this journey.
