Re-tired: New Tread

Re-tired Ep. 128: Feline Friends

Tina is the cat lover. Sue would rather see them in the outdoors where she can live and let live! It is surprising that Tina is such a lover of a fluffy pillow cat when she's had some horrific experiences with felines, from bites and bleeding, to the creepiness of her cat lining up their prey with pride. The debate about indoor vs. outdoor cats brings up intrigue as well. Meow!

Re-tired Ep. 127: K-9 Teachings

With names like Johannes, Molly, Buddy, Dom, Chacmol, Honey , Lacey, Sasha and Elfie, who wouldn't expect to have lots of loving and learning! Tina and Sue reflect upon what their beautiful canines taught them. From understanding the importance of knowing the kind of dog for your lifestyle to going through all the seasons of life with a best friend, they teach us so much.

Re-tired Ep. 126: Pets in Retirement

Are pets in re-tirement too much responsibility or a definite benefit? It all depends on what your goals and needs are. Sharing the responsibilities with other re-tirees can ease the burden, or you might be like Tina and consider a gap year with a jellyfish!

Re-tired Ep. 125: Taking a Break

Sue asks Tina for a break. Taking breaks is essential to reducing stress, preventing burn-out, maintaining energy, and increaseing creativity. It's time. Their conversation relates so directly to their experiences in teaching and applying lessons in re-tirement.

Re-tired Ep. 124: A Toast to Teachers

Um, soooo, the gals talk about Tina's Toastmaster goal of not filling space with um and so. Beyond implementing rhetorical devices effectively, the topic of how teaching taught them the importance of commitment. So much of what they have learned deeply in life has come from the noble profession of teaching.
