Family Motor Coach Association Rally #2 Pomona, California

Picture 3000 motor coaches parked in a fairgrounds, and their owners attending seminars, checking out new products available to make this lifestyle more enjoyable and enjoying entertainment and each other. It is a winning combination!

This one we spoke at presenting our seminars: Beyond Your Career: Reinventing Retirement and Second Time Around: Reinventing Your Retirement Marriage. What fun we had!

A gentleman came up to Joanne saying, “I was just reading your article in the Lifestyles magazine. Should I go home and finish it?”
The magazine article writing was our first venture into the world of magazine publishing and it was lovely to be received so well by the editors of Monaco Corporation magazine

A Doctor’s point of view about retirement

Mark and Lisa and their 2 charming kids are enjoying a holiday in the same RV park here in San Diego. Mark works as an ER physician in Scottsdale, Arizona. We shared with them that our passion is talking about the need for a purpose during retirement.

Mark’s comments: “I often see this in my practice. Seniors come in who are depressed and despondent. I tell them, ‘Get a life, get involved, do something!’ ”

Visiting with Joanne’s aunt and uncle confirmed this once again. George has been a minister his entire life, with Lily his capable and loving partner. George and Lily are now part of a weekly spiritual group where George leads the discussions and they both feel they are making a contribution.

Purpose provides the juice that makes our lives flow.

Coronado Island


Loved the history and ambiance of this island, the view is fantastic, too. This view is from one of the patios of the Coronado Hotel.

We enjoyed the entire San Diego area with the highlight being the visit with Joanne’s Aunt Lily and Uncle George. Thanks for the borscht, unbeatable, Aunt Lily!
