I’m grateful you came by.🙏✨
Hi!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and dreams😊 I hope you accomplish everything you want!
Thank you so much!!💕🙏
I love it! You did it! Or shall I say you’re doing it!❤
Thanks Anisha! Your kindness is appreciated. 🙏. I will be doing these videos until I reach monetization. Then I’ll be focusing solely on lifestyle in my 50’s videos to talk about transitions, challenges, and epiphanies I’m having as I gain more wisdom. I have some of those videos already posted and hope you come back to watch them when you can. I appreciate you being here!
As a teacher for over 50 years, let me advise you. Creating your channel is the best thing you can do for yourself. Teaching is a labor of love, but in this day and age, remember that it is labor that is also subject to market pressures and demands. There is no guarantee that you will be able to keep your school job for another 10 years. As you have advised your students many times over, keep learning and developing new skills and interests. Your channel will be very successful, keep going.
I appreciate your sound advice. 🙏. In what capacity did you teach? 50 years…that’s incredible! 🤩
@@beautifullifesageg.3951 I taught all ages from preschool to college level. I had the absolute most fun and challenge teaching kindergarten. I did 25 years as a kindergarten teacher until I retired. I was one of the few men in America who taught this long at this grade level. I am now adult ed at a technical college and a women's prison.
@@beautifullifesageg.3951 Oh no, I can't believe I didn't respond and answer your question sooner. Here's the short version: I've taught all the grades from preschool through 12 grade. My favorite group was kindergarteners- 25 years teaching this age group full time. I also taught Ed classes as an adjunct at the college level. Along with this I was a principal teacher, program director, grant writer, staff trainer and held some other positions in the districts. I also spent 25 years as a firefighter/EMT, did construction work, and worked as a professional musician. I did 15 years as a private pilot. I learned a lot of other things from a lot of great people. When you spend 35 years in bush Alaska, you learn and adapt or you perish. I currently teach adult ed classes at a technical college and teach in a women's prison. My favorite passion is helping and seeing people succeed. Ah, enough about me; let's enjoy all the new UA-camrs you are motivating and inspiring.
That's awesome that you have this goal! You are truly an inspiration to others... Enjoy the journey!
Thanks for your kind words and support! I plan on making this a truly enjoyable journey! 💕💕
You're doing amazing. I'm on the same journey x
Hi there Katy! Thanks for dropping in to comment. Now I know you exist and just subscribed! I actually prefer natural remedies when possible. Looking for one now, honestly for a fungus rash on my foot. LOL. I’m excited to witness your journey on UA-cam and glad you joined this community! You’ll find so many lovely people here ready and willing to support you! ✨💕🙏
Thanks for sharing. We can all relate. Retired during COVID. #playlist
Have you enjoyed your retirement so far?
@@beautifullifesageg.3951 Yes, I am much more busier but totally enjoying myself.
I can so relate to you! I’m loving your videos!
Glad you like them!💕✨
My birthday is August 25th too and I just started a UA-cam channel a month ago! You can do it!!!!
Wow! Well hello birthday buddy! 🎉❤️✨. What a lovely surprise! Today has been a day full of interesting synchronicities for me…so your comment is the perfect way to end my day! I’ve subscribed to your channel in support. I hope you enjoy hanging out here bc there are really lovely people all reaching out in encouragement for one another. Welcome in Sharee! Fellow Virgo. 🙏☀️
I’m 43 and I’ve been working since I was 14. I love UA-cam and I too, am learning. It’s fun to learn and get better and witness growth within. As I learn more in my studies and share here, I get more pumped to do this channel. 😊 Thanks for sharing your “why.” 😊
And I am looking forward to all that you plan to share!
I like your videos!New subscriber!
That’s so kind! Thank you for the sweet comment..made my day! 💕💯🥰
Youf go Jen. Stepped back from Episode #4 to see where you started. Best of luck to you. Let's have a birthday celebration together! 😎🤠 - BTW, Retirement is wonderful. I spend my days doing what I love.
You took the words (birthday celebration) right out of my mouth! 😉👍
Jen, I retired at 52, 4 years ago and I feel you and your fears of the process. You are doing all the right things in getting yourself ready. I think you’ll be surprised how quickly your days will fill up. Keep learning new things, go on long walks regularly, find places to volunteer, take classes of some kind. But also, allow yourself time to rest and recover. I can’t wait to see you get monetized!
Hi Kris! I really appreciate your thoughts. Yes..I am putting some of those things into practice now. This channel, for a start, longer walks, and deep self-care practices when I remember. 😉✨💕
August! 🎉 you have some time! You got this❤ thank you for being a teacher, the most influential people in my life and my children’s have been good teachers.
I loved our mall time back in the day. I worked at Walden books at the mall. I quit my job of 31 years to do YT. It’s been hard. Harder than I thought but I don’t want to give up cause I love it.
I love how similar we are and we have similar goals. We got this Jen. ❤
I think we are gonna have to meet up at some point, Tracie. I worked at a Waldenbooks as well as Walden Kids in my local mall too! And I have cats. And I used to paint. And I dream of time to do art journals. 🥰🥰🔆
I'm rooting for you as I feel a little defeated in my own progress. I just know you will get there!
Thanks for your support! ✨🙏. Please feel free to reach out to my email (there’s no list as of yet) if you want to chat. ✨
🎉I also don’t do most of these! Holidays are meh to me for the same reasons and never been into trendy fashion. Glad I’m not alone ❤
Welcome to the club, Lisa! ✨🤗
Omg! I am at the same place!!! So cool to see other who have same goals! 🤩 ❤
So cool! I subscribed !
@@beautifullifesageg.3951 Thank you! ❤️
Best of luck on your challenge! I'll do my part to help you. : ) I look forward to watching you grow!! We are in a similar stage (my youngest is 18 too) and it is an exciting and strange new life chapter.
Hi Jill and Randy! Thanks for your support. We have friends who recently moved to Colorado and I’m hoping to visit soon. Your channel will help me plan a trip! I subscribed! Yes…planning for an empty nest is indeed an interesting and challenging time of life. 💕☀️😥
@@beautifullifesageg.3951 Thank you for subscribing to our channel! That was very kind. I hope you get to visit your friend in Colorado soon. It is a lovely state! One of the perks of having an empty nest is more time to travel. 😃
Good luck! I’m with you for all the same reasons.
Happy to have you along for the ride, Kelly! 🤗✨
@@beautifullifesageg.3951 Thanks.
