Always, kindness prevails.
No matter how things appear, nor how humbling a task, nor how unkind others have been; be kind.

I AM A SONIC BOOMER, NOT A SENIOR... In this blog, I am writing to and for those who believe that the Boomers will change what the word Senior means. I also believe that Boomers will change what retirement means in our society. The blog is also for those who are interested in what life after retirement may look like for them. In this blog, I highlight and write about issues that I believe to be important both for Seniors and working Boomers.

Looking back
Sometimes, when I look back at the trail I've tread, it's actually hard to believe that at times I was afraid, confused or uncertain yet I was. I am sure you may have been as well, but we carried on and we rocked it. We made it through our confusion, our uncertainty and our fear and when we look back we dwell on our success not the feat that helped create that success. As we move into the next steps of retirement it is I think a good time to remember those feeling the next time we feel scared, confused, or uncertain. If we do we will know that we are still on fire and we will get through and be successful on the other side.

Through you
Through you, through you
The magic of life works through you. Not beside you. Not around you. Not for you. Not despite you. But through you.
You have to go there. You have to choose your stage. You have to do your dance. Putting yourself in place, to any degree that you can, even if it scares you, even when it's "hard," even if it's just your big toe. Stretch yourself, scoff at the odds, get the ball rolling so that the magic can then come alive and sweep you off your feet with its infinite grace and glory.
You wouldn't just carry around the seeds for the garden of your dreams in your pocket, all the while asking where your flowers were? Nope, you'd have to brave the elements, you'd have to choose the location, and then you'd have to go there.
Your life is your wand or hoe so get out and work your magic!

Can you believe it?
We live in a strange time, we feel isolated and yet we are surrounded by life. We may feel that we are suffering but we are not. If you are reading this you are lucky! Can you believe it?
Do you have any idea how many souls wish they could be in your shoes? Wish they could see through your eyes? Wish they could feel what moves in your heart? Have your friends? Share your loves? Face your fears and your beasts?
Yes even have your fears and your beasts! You think I am kidding? There are many people who would love to be in a position where they could face your fears and especially your beasts! Because from where they are, it is easier to face your fears than their own. They believe that it is so much easier to see how soon your fears will pass, how triumphant you will be, and how much more you can make possible when you overcome your fears and beasts than they would be if they faced their own fears.
When you look at others I bet you may feel that it would be easier to deal with their situation rather than face your own? Life is like that, "the grass is always greener" people say, but they forget that the grass may be greener but it took a lot of hard work to get it that green.
