Retirement often begins with the fun new sensation of being able to use your time however you want. But, if you are like many of us, you will eventually find yourself wanting more. More adventure. More meaning. More significance in life.

On Tuesday evening April 6^th, Dr. Mindi McKenna will lead our Round Table on “SETTING BIG DREAMS AND ACHIEVING THEM IN RETIREMENT.”

She’ll guide us through a 7-step framework developed by popular speaker, Bob Goff, author of “Love Does,” “Everybody Always,” and “Dream Big.”

She’ll share tips for identifying our big dreams, acting on them, clearing distractions, overcoming obstacles, and yes, achieving results.

Some of us have plenty of financial resources during retirement; others are on a really tight budget. Either way, all of us can leave a lasting legacy by investing of ourselves to help others.

It’s a well-known fact that sharing of one’s time, talent, or treasure is one of the most reliable ways to experience a stronger sense of purpose, fulfillment and joy. That’s why we’ll end our 2020-2021 Crossroads Round Table series with a powerful discussion about “LEAVING A LASTING LEGACY BY ESTATE PLANNING” led by Debi Nixon and the Resurrection Foundation.
