These WISE socials are such a good way to get out of the house and meet new people. The only hard part of this recent Meet & Eat? Picking just one slice of cheesecake. 😄 Thanks to everyone who joined us! If you’ve been thinking about coming to one of our socials, this is your sign ✨

She'd already lived a couple of full careers before she ever picked up a bridal sketchbook. Now her name is basically synonymous with wedding dresses. As it turns out, a completely new direction can turn into your most recognized one!

If you could start a new career right now, what would you pick?

That moment when you have a scarf that's been "almost done" since last winter and honestly at this point you aren't sure it'll ever see the light of day...so relatable. There's just always a new pattern that catches my eye before the old one is finished. (Tell me I'm not alone! What project have you been meaning to work on but haven't had the chance to return to?)

Something I started doing that actually helps is keeping a sticky note tucked into each project with the needle size and where I left off. Such a small thing but it makes it so much easier to actually pick something back up instead of just… moving it to the other chair. Give it a try!

There's a fat one that shows up every single morning, same time, same spot on the feeder. You've basically named him at this point.

Filling the feeder has just become part of the routine, and now you notice right away when one of the "regulars" doesn't show up for a few days. You start to wonder if he's okay.

Anyone else have a favorite visitor at the feeder? What did you end up calling them?

You knew the second you put them on that it was a different kind of day. No running, no puddles, no messing around. Just walk nice and don't scuff them 😂

Did your family have "good shoes" too? What were yours like?

Home starts to matter more these days...the way a room feels, the way it fits your life right now. So we move the couch, try a new corner for the chair, chase that feeling of "yes, this is right."

And when you've finally got the living room just how you like it? That's where WISE Connect comes in.

We have plenty of events for you to meet other retirees in your area who are navigating what daily life looks like in retirement, and a host of free activities for you to find a new routine and have fun doing it! Visit our page to learn more about what we do and how you can get involved 💙💛

At this recent lunch social, we had a smaller group than usual, but you'd never have known it from the noise at the table! Lunch stretched on for hours, plates kept getting refilled, and nobody seemed to be watching the clock. If smaller get-togethers are more your speed, our lunch socials might just be the thing you didn't know you needed ✨
