er life experiences, successes and experiences that proved to be less than memorable. She has learned from both. 'There is a clarity that comes with being a septuagenarian looking back at your life.'

During the early COVID months and years Carol Ann spent considerable time in her happy place: Nova Scotia and, in particular, the Annapolis Valley. This is where the book took a life of its own.

Carol Ann writes in detail about her first love and how what seemed to be so right turned out to be less than that

'Life can change in a minute', 'Soft skills matter', 'Cancer is a beast', and 'Hating only hurts the hater' are a few of the many life connections you will read about here.

Not afraid to share, Carol Ann has invited several of her fellow septuagenarians to put pen to paper and share one or two lessons they have learned through their life journey to date.
