More about Lynda and Refirement Network.

Lynda is the Wisdom Preserver and Connection specialist who manages and runs The Refirement Network. My website is www.refirementnetwork.com

I am interested in building a great site for Boomers. We are entering the next life stage. This used to be called RETIREMENT. Due to changes in the world in technology, we are a healthy generation and have opportunities and challenges that no other generation have faced in the past. This site is to help us understand the changes and create and manage the changes we need to make. We need to REFIRE not RETIRE.

I would love you to invite your Boomer colleagues and friends.
Join and start groups.
Collaborate and help change your life and those in the community where you live.
If you need help or want to be in contact please send me a message on this site.

It is taken from an explanation on Ecclesiastes 12: 1-14

Chapter 12 concludes Solomon's meditation with some wise words that should direct every leader. They sound like the lecture of an experienced mentor attempting to counsel an emerging leader; trying to keep him or her from maki… Continue

Keep life simple and care about people

How little it takes to make a difference . How many children in this nation have no Mother or Father figure. My challenge with this article is to ask you to be that just to one child and make a difference. That is how simple change can be.

CAlled "MAKING A DIFFERENCE" by Elizabeth Silance Ballard

Many years ago, an elementary teacher, Mrs Thompson , stood in front of her Grade 5 class on their very first day of school, and told the children a lie.

She looked at her students and said that she… Continue

I would like to book and also get directions to the venue please. Somehow I haven't succeeded with online registration...please can you help on both counts. It would be great to duplicate a Refirement Chapter here in Pmburg, so wonder if there will be time for us to meet during my visit to Jhb? Do you think a chapter here would be a good thing (Margy van Zyl of Pmb and District Care of the Aged -PADCA - is keen for me to attend and link up with you). If so, then I would love to hear your thoughts and be inspired. Regards Yvonne
