Slow Down

Our Contributing Editor, Dave Slavin, says yes to YES, one of his favorite bands of all time. But bandmate, Jon Anderson, has been on his own for two decades and according to Dave, his music has never been better. In fact, there's one song that reminds Dave of his wife, Montie Slavin, and that makes Dave happy all the time. 

Pathways for the Peaceful Retiree are regularly contributed articles from the team at Isthmus Partners, LLC, an investment management and advisory firm that serves clients across the globe.

And that's of significant importance because we want you to find peace in your retirement. 

Tom Kermgard takes us back. Way back. And yes, we can go home again, particularly to big hair (when we had it), rock star apparel (when we could fit in it), and to the songs that bring back the memories that we'll never forget (assuming we're still not forgetting anything).

We all know how a song can take us back to a place where the memories are poignant, even if it’s 55 years ago. But no matter. Our accomplished Contributing Editor, Dave Slavin, has a message (or maybe it's a song) for all of us: There's nothing wrong with spending time reflecting; in fact, it's probably a great idea. 

Writing in retirement, in any format, is splendid for mental acuity, kick-starting your imagination, and sharing your wisdom with generations who are looking forward to reading your insights.
