Hi Iâm SharonAnn Hamilton, an author and lifestyle guide helping Boomers shape a retirement thatâs purposeful, balanced, and joy-filled. I believe nothing is too big for God, and I weave real stories, humor, and practical tools into everything I write. My books Balance for Seniors, Donât Just Downsize RightSize, and The Garden of Enough help you live confidently, give generously, and rest in âenough.â
P.S. Your worries are welcome here; grace meets them in the garden.

Most âretirementâ books preach or pile on homework. The Garden of Enough gives you what you need in one place story, Reflection Seeds, and Scripture whispersâso you can breathe, not hustle.
Result? A calmer week, clearer priorities, and a hopeful picture of âenough.â Readable in one peaceful sitting.

Itâs a short, faith-woven parableâone quiet afternoon, or a week using the 7-Day Reading Companion. Each chapter ends with a Reflection Seed.
Boomers and friends who want a gentler rhythm in retirement clarity for money, time, and purpose and faith that feels like a hand on the shoulder, not a lecture. Great for couples and small groups.
Because the retirement chapter can get noisy. The Garden of Enough offers a calm picture of âenough,â simple steps (plant âą prune âą rest), and gratitude practices that quiet worry and make conversations at home kinder.
Expect practical, felt shifts:
A shared languageâplant âą prune âą restâto make decisions with your spouse without friction.
A gentler weekly rhythm with planned rest, fewer âshoulds,â and more porch time.
Quieter 2 a.m. worries as gratitude practices and Scripture whispers take root.
Clearer money and calendar choices that align with what matters, plus renewed readiness to bless others.
From âI finally unclenchedâ to âwe stopped arguing about timeâ
why this story keeps traveling from porch to small group.

"We stopped tripping over our calendars.â
â Mike & Ellen, 72/70 (Michigan, USA)
âWeâre both planners, which meant we were always negotiating okay, arguing about time. After finishing the book on a Sunday, we sat on the porch with two pens and made a simple week: one main thing a day, a quiet morning together, errands once, not three times. By Friday weâd had two unhurried lunches, fewer miles on the car, and no blowups. It felt like we finally pulled in the same direction.â


âIt quieted the 2 a.m. worry.â
â Bonnie, 64 (Geneva)
âIâm a widow and nights can get loud in my head. I tried one tiny practice the book suggested three things Iâm thankful for and one short prayer before the light goes out. The first night I slept. The next day I called my daughter without that knot in my stomach, cleaned one drawer Iâd been avoiding, and paid two bills without drama. Nothing magical, just steadier.â
âOur class actually talkedâreally talked.â
â Cynthia, 57 (Georgia USA)
âWe read a chapter aloud and let the questions do the work. No homework, no lecture. Couples opened up about money and pace in a way I havenât seen in years. One gentleman apologized to his wife in the room; another woman decided to step back from two committees. By week three people were smiling more and volunteering less and nobody felt guilty.â


âI felt permission to choose peace.â
â Robert, 60 (Texas USA)
âI made coffee, read two chapters, and caught myself breathing slower. I gave away a box of âsomedayâ items, told my friend I couldnât lead another project, and planned a simple weekend with the grandkids. My husband noticed I wasnât rushing. That alone was worth it.â
No tech gymnastics. No pressure.
Just a good read.
