Hello! I'm Katie, a lifelong enthusiast of new adventures and meaningful transitions. As I stand on the threshold of retirement, I’m eager to share my journey and the insights I've gathered along the way. My path has been anything but linear, weaving through diverse careers and rich experiences that have shaped who I am today.
I started my career as a bank teller, learning the ropes of precision, customer service, and financial acumen. This was followed by a stint in retail sales, where I honed my interpersonal skills and deepened my understanding of consumer behavior. Working as a clerk for a local municipality introduced me to the intricacies of public administration, and driving a Head Start preschool bus brought me immense joy and a sense of responsibility.
Balancing work with higher education, I earned my Bachelor’s degree, which paved the way for a role in property management. Here, I leveraged my diverse skill set in a dynamic environment, managing properties and ensuring tenant satisfaction. Each job has enriched my life, preparing me for the exciting phase of retirement.
As I transition from a bustling career to the Baby Boomer lifestyle, I’m navigating the emotional and mental shifts that come with it. My blog covers a range of themes:
Inspirational/Reminiscence
Every month I reminisce about living by the beach in Ventura County, where the ocean's rhythm and sunsets created unforgettable memories.
Downsizing
Every month I discuss innovative space-saving solutions that turn homes into multifunctional sanctuaries, sharing tips on creating organized, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing living spaces.
Proactive Health
Preparing for retirement involves considering physical, mental, emotional, and financial health. I offer tips and strategies to maintain a dynamic and health-conscious lifestyle.
Experiences & Entertainment
A lifelong love affair with concerts and festivals has brought immense joy to my life. I'll share the electrifying atmosphere of beach festivals, from volleyball competitions to local craft booths and culinary delights.
Retirement is not just an end but a beginning, filled with opportunities for travel, hobbies, and deeper connections. Join me as I explore this exciting new phase, and feel free to share your own stories and insights. Whether you’re navigating a career transition, downsizing, or preparing for retirement, let's embark on this journey together.
Thank you for visiting, and I look forward to connecting with you!
