Hi, I'm Kathryn! 

​

I'm an author and the writer behind this blog, where I share how I bring joy into everyday living in retirement.

​

Whether you're a fellow retiree, preparing to be, or not even close, I'm hoping you'll find inspiration here and on my YouTube Channel.

​

Back in the early 70s, my passion for writing was ignited as a14 year old in high school. When most of my peers were dreading the next English essay assignment, I couldn't wait. Over the years I've blogged, been a copywriter in both the corporate and private sector, and an entrepreneur.

​

I've always loved to create; whether in the garden, kitchen or at the sewing machine or keyboard. And, I've dabbled in photography, and acrylic and furniture painting too.

​

Now, you'll find me in the garden, out on a long walk, taking a nap, and making a concerted effort to slow down, be in the moment and practice gratitude. 

​

I live in rural Tauranga in New Zealand with my husband Craig, and our boss, Sid the Border Terrier.
