WISDOM for the murky waters ahead. Teaching you what you need to let go of (expectations, your kid's problems…) and hold on to (your friends, new mission field, passions…).

ENCOURAGEMENT for when you’re feeling confused and discouraged. Full of stories and new insights, you’ll find your spirits lifted and hope renewed.

IDEAS for when you don’t know "What’s next?" Jill offers loads of practical ideas for coping and thriving in this encore season.
