At 85, Karin has been widowed twice, always has a man in her life, and lives out her dreams with passionate reality. She is gutsy and game! Her 2nd husband had passed away from complications due to Parkinson’s disease. After retiring from a career in marriage and family counseling at 78, specifically as a bereavement counselor, she decided to move on her own to France and live out a promise they made while on their honeymoon in Aix-en-Provence. Planning to stay 1 year, she found that was not enough and stretched it to two. From that experience came her first book, “Blue Satin Nightgown – My French Makeover at 78.”
“I know how mental age is. Attitude is everything.” – Karin Crilly
Karin lays out for us all the steps it took for her to move to France and what she did while she was there to make the 2 years into a wonderful adventure. At 80, she knew it was time to return home.
