IT IS A NEW BEGINNING
Stepping into retirement has lots of challenges and for each of us they are unique, yet I believe there are lots that we can learn from one another.
I often feel that those that are not in our position do not understand out fears and our concerns and even though they may try to be supportive, they do not truly understand how to.
Also from our side, having been independent for some years now, it is sometimes difficult to admit to our vulnerability and fears of losing our independence.
I know there are millions out there facing the same struggles and I don’t know the answers, but I know there is hope.
I would like to join up with like minded others and start up a “friends helping friends” community where we can share ideas and concerns and grow together.

My name is Jackie Gilliland and the truth is that I am in no position to expect you to listen to me.
All I can say is that, not long ago, I was in a position that I unexpectedly found myself in a situation where I suddenly had no work and due to my circumstances, and my age, I had, at least in my mind, no options.
Looking back now, I realize, it was never a crisis I had but rather an opportunity. I came to a crossroad in my life. I had to decided to become the victim or the victor.
I had to make some choices and today I am glad I made the choices I did. Maybe they were not all good, however I did learn a lot. Even from the not so good choices.
I don’t know your circumstances and I don’t have all the answers. What I do know, is that there are millions of people out there that are not adequately prepared for the day they are unable to continue a normal career and that the impact of that reaches way beyond the mere fact of losing your income.
All I can give you is some insight in my journey and hopefully encourage you to know there is always hope.
I invite you to sign up to my Newsletter and learn about my journey.
Let us share our experiences and our challenges and fire our hope for the future.
My questions normally before I sign up to a newsletter are:
– Will I be bombarded by emails?
I can assure you, I am as frustrated of clearing my inbox from junk mail as you are so, the answer is no, I will not flood your inbox with junk mail.
– What am I selling to you?
Again, like you, I am frustrated by signing up to newsletters promising me valuable information which eventually turns out to be just another sales letter.
It is my objective with this newsletter to stick to the Golden Rule of doing to others as you would like them to do to you.
In my newsletter I will share what I have leaned and the routes I took on my journey. I will share mistakes I made and the lessons I learned.
I trust that you will do the same and allow me to share what you have to offer through “our Newsletter” and through this help all of us grow.
The fact is, more than 90% of all people are not adequately prepare for when this arrives. The change you experience is often not what you expected and it is normal to feel lost.
The reality is vastly different from the expectation and you could easily become overwhelmed by this.
When we are young, we believe Wealth means Money.
When we retire quickly learn that we do not have as much money as we thought but more importantly we also learn that Money is not all and there are other factors and values to considder.
Retirement is not the end, it is a new beginning and a new experience.
If you adopt and cherish this thought, you are sure to be surprised by how much you can achieve.

new life today
