I’ve been working with a particular client for some time now. A wonderful woman in transition from work life into retirement. She is a go getter; brilliant, successful, well respected and well liked, funny, caring, the list goes on. As part of the wisdom being delivered to her over time has been an ongoing conversation about creativity. She has always

While I have zero problem staying in and not attending functions, I particularly miss our kids and my parents . In addition, what I am discovering
