John Agno of So Baby Boomer is the host of this week’s Best
of Boomer Blogs #331.
John is an advocate of encore careers, work
in the second half of life that combines continued income and greater personal
meaning. He says:
Perhaps, you have identified your life’s mission
and become a co-creator of it in your career or
by charting your own life’s journey. If not yet, all kinds of
wonderful and exciting things can
still happen in an encore career before and during your retirement
years. Knowing and implementing your
life purpose allows you to connect
with people of like-mind. Opportunities
surface. You become clear on your direction. Time becomes your
friend.
Other boomers in the blog roundup also have thoughts about
encore careers:
- Karen Austin at The Generation Above Me
finds inspiration for her own encore career by reading about others who have
made the switch.
- Laura Lee Carter of the Midlife Crisis
Queen found her purpose and encore career by becoming a blogger at
52. Now, at age 58, she shares: “What Six Years of Blogging Has Done for Me…”
- Tom Sightings of Sightings From Sixty, who had a medical scare, contributes to the encore
career theme by writing about “Enough Money, Who Cares?” Tom
reasons that boomers need to take care of their health rather than worrying
about whether they’ll have enough money to live to be 100.
- On my blog, I write about how encore careers are one way baby boomers are changing retirement.
Be sure to stop by next week and see what baby boomer bloggers are writing about.
