Hi Everyone! I am excited to be part of IFF! What a wonderful way to bring like minded women together! I enjoyed every bit of raising my son and daughter who are now 29, and spending time together with them and my husband remains my favorite thing to do! However, I find myself wanting something just for me, to enrich my life in a new way and I feel like connecting with women in the same chapter of life is a beautiful way to start! Thank you Julie for creating this space for us and I look forward to meeting some of you in Stoneham next week! Here’s to new beginnings!

Hi all - my name is Gina and I live in Scarborough, Maine with my chocolate lab. I have two sons who are both now in college so a very new empty nesting situation which I'm really not enjoying. I hike a lot and mountain bike a little. Looking forward to seeing how others embrace this new chapter of life.

I am an empty nester who is turning 61 in a few weeks and both of my boys are away at college. I live in Middleboro MA with my husband and crazy dog and am retiring in June after working 39 years as a special ed teacher and speech-language pathologist in the public school systems. I have really been focusing on improving my health over the past year so I can truly enjoy the next phase of my life. I am looking forward to retirement but would love to connect with other like-minded women. Anyone live South of Boston or near the Cape?

I am a mom to 4 fabulous grown children with my baby in her final year of college. As many I was a full time mom loving every minute of it all. After my youngest went of to college I put myself back in the full time work force and found a wonderful company to work for. However, I find myself with a void not feeling complete/satisfied. I look forward to making connections with others on this same journey into the next chapter of life.

Hello Everyone! How exciting to claim our own group. Thank you Julie and In Full Force and thank you for including me! My kids are grown… in their 30’s so I’ve been waiting for a way to connect for a while. Hope there are ladies who like to TRAVEL in this group because that’s my favorite thing to do-that and sewing, especially for my 3 grands. I look forward to meeting new friends!
