Don't ReTire. ReFire!
Hi, I'm Paul Carter. When I turned 80, my friends and colleagues said: “Whatever you’re drinking, Paul, we want some, because you look and act amazing for your age.”
Little did they know how hard I have struggled with my internal prejudices about ageing, a.k.a. "self-inflicted ageism." But over time, I developed what I call The ReFirement Map, a step-by-step process by which I continuously ReFire my life.
I'd love to meet you and hear your story. I plan to hang out near Colibri's Corner Thursday mornings at the farmer's market at San Isidro de Pérez Zeledón. Stop by for a chat.
I'll also share my story at Carol's Costa Rica Club meeting January 27th, 2017, 12:30 PM, Bazooka's Restaurant.
I'm currently investigating what Pura Vida has to do with reFirement by interviewing folks in the San Isidro de Pérez Zeledón area, and publishing short videos weekly on my blog. You can watch, leave comments, and/or subscribe at http://gorefire.com/blog/
Pura Vida!
