Years may wrinkle the skin but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

I’ve always felt that continual growth is one of the keys to living (and aging) gracefully. To remain curious. To learn. To try new things. To reinvent yourself. To push out of your comfort zone. It also plays a huge part in creating a satisfying and fulfilling life. So today I’m going to share four FREE resources to jump start your next learning or personal growth endeavor.
One of the primary intentions of Natty Gal is to encourage readers to live their most balanced and satisfying lives. Today I’ll be sharing my road map for doing just that as well as talking about some of my own goals for 2019!

Continue reading “Where I Fail as a Friend & A Road Map for a More Satisfying Life”This story begins in August, 2011. Natty Guy and I went to Key Largo, Florida with a couple of friends to take our scuba open-water certification. Our friends’ two adult children were also getting certified and, as they had rented a large house on the island, told the kids they could invite some others along.
Five of our friends’ daughter’s newly-graduated-from-college friends ended up joining us. For Natty Guy and I, hanging around with this crew was a novel and enlightening experience. Not having kids of our own, it was fun to recall what we were like at that age. The similarities (i.e., cheap PBR was the poolside drink of choice and the random flirtations/hooks-ups among the group seemed to switch almost hourly). The differences. Kids today are so polished, so experienced. This group included several world-travelers, rock climbers, long distance competitive bikers, accomplished artists, etc. We had a great week hanging out with them by the pool, snorkeling with them at Pennekamp State Park, sharing meals and hearing about their lives.
