I had an unfortunate childhood which affected my adult life. I survived and thrived by learning everything I could about increasing my self-esteem, finding my personal power, and learning to be happy.
Before I recovered from my depression I lived many years with very little money. I was eventually able to get me life in order, and ran a successful home-based business for many years.
Then when I was getting ready to retire I heard about the mistreatment of seniors in retirement homes. I was very upset. Most of those people could be living successfully on their own if they only knew how.
So I became a Certified Life Coach, and spent a year putting this course together using experience gained from going through retirement issues with both of my parents individually, and my own retirement issues combined with what I learned from 20 years meditation.
