So here’s the thing about retirement. Somehow in thinking about it when I was still working I saw it as a monolith; just as work had meant a steady plan of start/stop times and work days vs weekends, retirement would also have an ongoing, solid shape and direction.

Background:
Sylvia Solomon started working at the age of 12 as a camp counselor and she’s never really stopped working since then. Putting herself through college she did everything from waitressing in a rather sleazy bar to typing dictated notes for physicians. After graduating she started full-time work as a Social Worker; that experience sent her back to school where she became a teacher. Sylvia has taught everything from grade 3 to graduate school, at several school boards and a number of Faculties of Education. As a single Mom raising three children (and now having 5 grandchildren) she often held multiple jobs to make ends meet. Her last 14 years of employment were as an Education Officer with the Ontario Ministry of Education where she had responsibility for everything from coordinating the writing of entirely new high school curriculum to developing policies for Gifted Education and ESL.
“I’ve always looked beyond the experience to the meaning. Retirement gives us a chance to give back.” Since retiring Sylvia has been exploring – and living and blogging about this new territory called “retirement”. You’ll find a link to her book about adapting to retirement there as well. (For The First Time: One Woman’s Journey). Get it on Kindle at amazon.com or in paperback at amazon.ca.
Check out her website for more information about the work that she does; you might even want to book a workshop.
