Second Spring

The secret to celebrating Life at any (st)age:

Celebrating where you are today while visualizing and planning the next exciting stage of your life. Your Second Spring is not a stagnant pond, but an endless, flowing fountain of second youth, a source for becoming fresh, happy and hopeful again.
