A Season to Blog

Hello! I’m Joni Wakefield and welcome to my new blog.  Thanks for finding your way to my site and let me begin by telling you why I have decided to start blogging at this particular time as I enter my sixties.  

I have always loved the written word and love to write it. When I was a young mother years ago I read a book titled ‘Maybe You Should Write a Book’. Although I don’t remember much of the content the title has always stayed with me and replayed in my head at random times throughout my life. Maybe I should write a book? I may or may not have that book in me but for now, this blog will serve as the writing outlet that I have always aspired to.

I start this blog and writing endeavor as I begin a new chapter post-retirement. It’s never too late to start something new, learn something new or fulfill a dream not yet recognized, and now could be the perfect time to explore new possibilities.

 We all worry about staying physically active as we age but beyond this, we should continue to feel vibrant, self-assured, and most of all relevant.  This will be my focus as I navigate through this new journey. I hope to share useful ways in which I learn to live my best life, finding balance with fitness, travel, golf, family, and of course the written word. This lifestyle blog will also include body and mind wellness as it relates to mature women and our unique circumstances. 

However arbitrary at the start we will find our voice and I am confident that a mutually beneficial space will emerge.

Let’s begin…
