Welcome in. I’m Kerry — recently retired early once I reached 60 along with my enough number and, for the first time in my life, finally putting myself first.

After a long career spent taking care of everything and everyone else, I’m learning what it means to take care of myself again. And it turns out, that looks like good food made from scratch, books that stay with you long after the last page, honest thoughts filling journal pages — and a beautiful old pub in the Adelaide Hills that my partner and I are making into a home.

I’m still figuring out what to do with all this glorious free time. It’s started already with a lot of reading time from my library ( mostly non fiction) and finding great recipes that melds my Dr’s orders and still be delicious. Life is too short to eat crap food! This newsletter is part of that unfolding.

No hustle. No highlight reel. Just a quieter, more considered way of living — shared with you, as I go.
