💭 Someone recently asked me: “How do you and your husband keep retirement happy, healthy, and fulfilling?”
It stopped me in my tracks—because the truth is, retirement isn’t always the picture-perfect life people imagine.
Too much time together can feel overwhelming. Too much space apart can feel lonely. And the balance? It’s not always easy.
But after a lot of trial and error, we’ve found six simple but powerful habits that keep our days full of joy, energy, and connection. 🌿
👉 I share them all in my newest video: https://youtu.be/GuJp11Gm9ro

🌱 Something New is Growing… 🌱
This year, we’re expanding our little container garden — but not just for beauty. Every pot, every planter, every herb has a purpose. 🍅🌿
What if growing just a few extra containers could change the way you cook, save money, and bring you one step closer to real self-sufficiency?
👉 What would you grow first if you expanded your garden?

Hello, Friends!
Here is an update on this channel — we’re now at 2,892 watch hours. It’s been one full year (I am not monetized, and I am losing watch hours). Whether you've been here from the beginning or just recently found my videos, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Your support — watching the playlists, leaving kind comments, and simply showing up — has encouraged me to keep creating and sharing this simple, intentional life in retirement. It means so much to have this community.
I continue to work on new videos about practical approaches to aging, finances, and living a simple life. It’s not about having it all, but about creating a life that feels like enough.
Wishing you peace, simplicity, and a beautiful day ahead.

I’m Diane, and I’m living proof that life after retirement can be simpler, richer, and more meaningful than ever—but not in the way we were told. After leaving the working world, I found myself starting over with one income, no roadmap, and a strong desire to live with more.
Here I share the real story of reinventing life—from finances, health, living in a manufactured home, and finding peace in simplicity while aging with grace and humor.
