Boomers Unbuttoned - Living Purpose and Passion after 50
Have you thought . . .
- I'd like to experience more, rather than less, of what I most love and value in the years ahead.
- What's really worth my time and energy now?
- How can I meet the physical, emotional and spiritual challenges before me? And even thrive in them!
Great questions!
Boomers Unbuttoned's mission is to help you find your own purpose-filled and satisfying answers to questions like these. You'll find info here, and opportunities for coaching and small group connection.
Hi! My name is Andrew MacDonald, a boomer born in 1947. This site is my brainchild (aka devil-spawn). I'm a life coach especially interested in people in transitions . . . of which the 50-plus journey is a biggie. I'm a Certified Mistake Expert and Accredited Blind Alley Explorer and I have numerous invaluable scars to prove both. (You've probably been in some of the same spots I have.) I have some more formal credentials as well.
What do I do in my retirement?
Those of us in the active years after 50 (which could go way up) are looking for answers to core questions like these:
- how do I feel about aging, retiring, not-retiring?
- who do I want to be in this new phase of life?
- do I want to retire or "rewire" myself?
- what would successful retirement look like, my way?
- what do I bring from my past that can help me?
- what mix of work, relationship, leisure and learning do I want?
- how can I best make my hopes and dreams manifest
These questions, and others like them, point to your purpose and passion, the poetry of your life. Of course financial well-being (the prose) is vital too but that isn't the focus of boomersubuttoned.com (though there are wonderful retirement business opportunities - supporting you in living a purpose-filled and passionate "Third Age" is.
You're invited to explore a monthly 1/2 hour group coaching session by telephone. It's fun and free and you're sure to learn something. Click here or on the Free Coaching button for dates and numbers.)
