A few months ago, I stepped into a new role as a Wellbeing Coordinator at a retirement village. It’s been one of the most unexpectedly life-shifting chapters of my journey.
I’ve found myself sitting in quiet conversations with people who have lived whole lifetimes before I even existed. People who have loved deeply, lost deeply, walked through seasons they thought would break them, and still wake up grateful for another morning.
I listen to their stories about childhood, great loves, family, regrets, resilience, miracles, and what makes their lives meaningful now. I leave these conversations changed, every single time.
They don’t talk about ticking boxes, timelines, comparison, or being behind. They talk about love, presence, connection, and the micro moments that make life beautiful.
Something inside me knows this is why I’m here…
To witness wisdom shaped by time, to learn from it, and to pass on reflections and moments from these conversations that make us rethink everything we chase, everything we worry about, and everything we tell ourselves is important.
What a beautiful new season of life I’m in 💛
