Notes from Vanaprastha 
Hello Carole, I’m Marcia. I crossed paths with your page while liking one of Ellen Grace Olinger’s recent posts. I sit here in awe reading the introduction of your book, “After years of parenting and teaching, Carole takes a sabbatical to build a house with her new husband Keith, reinvent herself…” This is my current life chapter. And these words alone bring me much needed comfort this morning. I hope to read more of your book. Many blessings.
Hello Marcia, good to hear from you! My book is yet to be published—soon, I hope—but my weekly posts might offer encouragement for navigating this stage of life. Last fall, I moved my blog to this site: caroleduff.com. Hope you will follow me there! -C.D.
