As a senior, she went on to become an actress, author, guest speaker, and blogger. Her recently published, self-help book share the same title as her blog and public lecture: Reinventing Yourself in Your Retirement Years. All have the goal of helping retirees and seniors reinvent themselves and find joy, excitement, and purpose after they retire. The book is not a one-size-fits-all approach but instead offers an individualized, detailed guide to help retirees and seniors discover activities and pursuits in this new stage of their lives based on their own likes and comfort level. Lee Gale learned the secret the hard way by finding her own "second chapter" as there weren’t any books or lectures to guide her. Audience members at her talks on senior reinvention requested a book on the subject, and her new book contains the content of those talks and six years of posts from her blog. The blog consists of personal essays posted every two weeks which are based on Lee Gale's thoughts, observations, and experiences which she thinks are universal to the retiree/senior demographic. Each blog explores a different topic relevant to retirees and seniors and ends in a teachable moment. Lee Gale's other book, published in 2013, is a memoir: Adventures with Dad: A Father and Daughter's Journey Through a Senior Acting Class. Here is the synopsis: After retiring at age 60 from her 37-year career as a probation officer, just for fun the author started attending an acting class for seniors at a community program with her newly widowed, grieving, 85-year-old father. This is the true story of their magical journey attending that class together for three years, bonding more than ever. The author wrote the comedy scenes they performed in the acting class showcases twice a year, onstage in front of live audiences before she eventually transitioned into the world of professional acting. As her fledgling, second career started going uphill, her dad's health started going downhill. She would recount to him each of her new experiences as she sat beside his bed at the nursing home where he resided in his final years. показать меньше
