Hello! I am Joni ~ Welcome to my blog.

Navigating midlife and beyond brings plenty of changes, surprises, and challenges. Along the way, I'm also discovering a new sense of peace, purpose, and possibility. With a lifelong love of reading and an equally strong desire to write, sharing my experiences feels like a natural next chapter. I created Me Beyond the Middle to celebrate life after midlife—the good days, the hard days, the funny moments, the memories, and the adventures still waiting to unfold. Recently retired and living in a new state, I'm embracing this season with curiosity and a willingness to try new things. Whether I'm sharing personal stories, travel experiences, reflections, or the little moments that make life meaningful, I hope you'll find something here that makes you smile, reminisce, or feel a little less alone. I'm glad you're here.

Welcome to the journey.
