    Columbus to Colombia

    My wife and I lived in western Panama for almost a year. Recently, we made a terrible mistake; we visited Medellin Colombia, and fell in love with it. Medellin is not the drug-infested, mortally dangerous, violent and unstable city a lot of folks think it is. It’s a beautiful, green, foliage-crowned city at the foot of the Andes, home to 3 million hard-working, friendly souls who seem to understand how fortunate they are to be living here in Medellin. For us the lure of Medellin was like the drugs the city had once been famous for. We folded our tent in Panama in late February, and moved to Medellin, Colombia.

    Fear

    Fear can keep us home, locked inside, alone with our thoughts and private anxieties. It can certainly limit our travel plans, especially travels to exotic and foreign places. Fear could energize our ambition to see the world or quell the desire for adventure.

    Finding Purpose

    What is my purpose? What is my calling? How shall I invest my time, energy, and attention?

    These questions arise early in adulthood, at midlife, late in life, and anytime in between. The questions seem particularly poignant for people in Act III of their lives.

    A Zany Look at the Electoral College as a COLLEGE

    What if the Electoral College were a college? To be sure, it has a ready listing of courses in political science such as “Red State, Blue State” (textbook by Dr. Seuss); and communication courses, “How the Media and Pollsters Misread the Trump Phenomenon” and How ‘Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow’ got displaced by ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want.’

    Find Your Strengths

    Outside of work, is there a steady stream of recognition to mirror your strengths?  Here are a few ways to identify or remember your strengths.  Once you identify them, you may notice that you are using them on a regular basis already.  Or, you may discover new ways you’d like to put your strengths to work for the benefit of your family, community, or something that’s meaningful to you.

    A Mini-Guide to Stress-Free Travel

    As recently retired expats, my wife and I are intent on doing as much travel as possible from our new base in the Republic of Panama. Stress is a big consideration in any travel endeavor—the packing, planning and pre-plane airport chaos. We’ve discovered shortcuts to get us through TSA lines faster, and to minimize the uncertainty and irritation of modern travel. I focus on air travel here because that’s the preferred method for most people to get where they want to go beyond 500 miles.

    Generativity! We want to make a difference!

    As we mature there comes an inner urge to give back, to invest in the world around us, to leave a legacy of compassion. Perhaps you have an experience to share as a survivor, a caregiver, and advocate, a volunteer. There is power and healing in a community that cares for each other. Invest your generativity in a way that makes a difference.

    Creating a Mystery Tour

    A “Mystery Tour!” The whole idea is built on concocting stories about various sites and creating the aura of a true mystery for the tourists. These stories could be suspenseful and add a degree of unresolved drama to the tour. Surely the cities that have ghost tours provide wonderful stories about the undead and the spirits roaming the area.
