Hello, I’m Kate and I’m enjoying my 60s. Yes, there are challenges and we won’t ignore them here, but let’s embrace the opportunities and the freedoms with passion and enthusiasm and let’s share our experiences and wisdom.

​

I’m a Mum, Grandma, writer and animal lover (mad cat lady!)  I’ve been a teacher, a carer and I’ve lived and worked overseas. As we’ll explore, we don’t have to be defined or limited by our roles, formal or informal. We are so much more!

This is not a Pollyanna project.  I’m realistic, I know that life throws us curve balls and we can’t always dodge them. I’ve had my share of challenges: for over thirty years I cared for my husband who had physical disabilities and then Alzheimer’s and I also looked after my Mum in her final years. I live with a bunch (bouquet!) of auto-immune conditions myself, but I am living a joyful life and you can too!

 

So please share your thoughts (let's always be kind), and sign up on the home page so you don’t miss a post (your details are safe with me; I share and sell nothing!)  Also hop over to Instagram to join me there http://instagram.com/thejoyofsixty_
