Hey Fabulous 60+... Welcome to Gypsies After 60!
So you’ve reached 50 or 60 and beyond. Now what? The answer? A lot! There is so much life out there to discover, create and embrace. Now is the time to stop waiting and live life right now.
Maybe you are a gypsy at heart; a free spirit just waiting to burst out from being cooped up in your old life; maybe you desire to travel and/or want to follow along on our journeys and adventures; or maybe you just want to be excited about life and find your own next adventure. Have you been waiting for ‘someday’ to really live and enjoy life, embrace our age and be our best over 60 we can be?
Then you are in the right place!
I’m Kathleen, a former stay-at-home mom who, along with my husband, Eric, have discovered our adventurous, gypsy spirit after 50 (and now 60) and I’m super excited you are here.
In these posts and pages you will find inspiration and encouragement to begin your own bold, adventurous gypsy life. Maybe that involves your own travel and you’ve come here for ideas and inspiration on where to go or what to do.
Or maybe travel isn’t possible for you yet, because of outside obligations. In that case, we’d be honored to have you follow along on our journeys and travel adventures and “be there” with us. It might even feel like you’ve traveled the same roads, paths and waterways with us. How cool is that!
But it’s not just about travel, (although that is a big thing for us). Living your someday, today is about everyday choices, living differently now that we are 60+ and being our best, bold, creative, new or renewed self.
Let’s not settle for boring and mundane anymore. It’s time to re-discover and re-define ourselves and create a life that makes us smile. Don’t be afraid to be your gypsy self; that free spirit who is strong, capable and adventurous at heart.
I am so happy and honored to have you follow us as we travel, discover and learn along the way. And I truly hope you will find inspiration and encouragement to be a ‘Gypsy After 60’ too and
Stop waiting for someday and live your life today!
~ Kathleen
