RETIREMENT IS FUN

WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, MANY OTHERS OPEN.

Review by Readers Favorite:

Retirement is Fun: A New Chapter by Brenda Mohammed is an interesting memoir where the author shares with readers her moments after retirement and how it is a time when everyone should sit back and enjoy life.

After reading this book, no one will dread retirement.

They will all look forward to it and use that time to enjoy the beauty of life, spend more time with the family, and experience their unconditional love.

Retiring from the job does not mean one retires from life because one gets time to appreciate the beauty of unlimited time and use it effectively by doing things they missed out on while they were working.

The book is uplifting as it makes everyone who is going to retire look forward to it.

The author's experiences and adventures after retirement give readers ideas on how to handle their lives in a good and happy way after retiring from their jobs.

Brenda Mohammed shows by example how one's attitude can make a difference to everything and life can be enjoyed at any age, irrespective of whether you are young or not.

The memoir is simple and chronicles the author's life and events, taking readers into her space.

The memoir is a good read; readers can connect well with what the author says and the events and experiences in her life, and the way she handles life is tangible. T

he words of wisdom from Dr Murdoch quoted at the end of the book are very inspirational and will help readers look at life in a positive way.

MADRID, SPAIN

We flew with Iberia airlines to Madrid from Barcelona.

Stayed in the lovely city at Hotel Senator Espana Spa.

Visited a queen’s famous palace Plaza de la Almudena.

Toured the Santa Maria La Real Cathedral before dinner.

We visited several souvenir shops to buy gifts for the family.

Took an Express train to Toledo, a town famous for Spanish jewelry.

We watched as a guy made beautiful Damascene necklaces.

Purchased a few to give as gifts to friends and relatives.

Dinner that night at Cortes Ingles was delicious and satisfying.

Next day visited the Museum of Art to view beautiful paintings.

Life-like art by renowned artists lined the walls of the Museum.

Bought copies of masterpieces for framing in our homes.

TRAVEL MEMOIRS - TRIP TO ROME

 

                           TRIP TO ROME
 

Rome is a city with a great deal of history.

Despite its beauty, it’s full of mystery.

The colosseum, a tourist site had its gory days.

Vatican City is a unique mini-state.

 

 

In 2009 Rome was part of our travels.

Toured the Vatican Museum and sat in the Sistine Chapel.

Walked through the Gallery of Tapestries.

Feasted our eyes on Michelangelo’s masterpieces.

 

The Belvedere Courtyard and other fabulous rooms

Were filled with paintings and art. I almost swooned

When we visited St. Peter’s Basilica we saw the catacombs.

Stood in awe when we saw St. Peter’s tomb.

 

Another interesting place was the Trevi Fountain.

The Spanish Steps and our trip to another fountain.

Occupied our days until it was time to move on.

Leaving behind the city of legendary palaces and museums.

FREE TIME WITH YOU

All I need is some free time with you,
Watching nature’s sceneries and the rainbow’s hues.
Touring new places, I have never seen before,
Go island hopping or a continental tour.

So many things to do and places to see.
I wonder when will this ever be.

Free time to have coffee or a yogurt drink,
In a nearby café or just sitting on the brink.
A sumptuous dinner for two, just me and you,
Laughing, talking, reminiscing, and not feeling blue.

Because of my love for writing true,
I’ll take along a pen and notebook too.
Just you and me, we’ll create beautiful Poetry.
We’ll write a new story for history.

An Unfazed Heroine

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
The novel Retirement is Fun by Brenda Mohammed may be deceptively read as an account of a continuous intercontinental road trip.
However, Retirement is Fun can more accurately read as the saga of the quiet determination of an unassuming heroine to maintain and promote social cohesion and interdependence of the family as she knows it.
Brenda gives life to the family which in turn gives life to her.
It’s the web of family closeness facilitated by Brenda from she draws strength in her darkest hour as she is afflicted with cancer and successfully grapples with retirement.
The family dynamics begs interpretation and one finds it in the context of the social and cultural background of the collectivist substrata.
It is in Brenda’s indefatigable efforts to champion the cause of family even as she journeys through a series sicknesses, births and deaths sequences and remains unfazed that a true hero is born.

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase
My Life as a Banker: A Life worth Living is a wonderful story detailing how the author started at a clerical level and rose to a senior position, solely on the basis of her dedication, hard work, and intelligence.

Brenda Mohammad describes how the manual work was transformed to computerization, her working at different branches and working relationship with her colleagues.
Her farewell party from the fellow workers describes how popular she was during her stay with them.
It was interesting to note, as a tradition, the groom used to write a letter to the bride's father to seek permission to marry his daughter.
This is what happened when her husband proposed her.
Description of her marriage is so beautiful and emotional.
Brenda had an extensive travelling of the United States and Europe; I enjoyed her visits to Germany and Holland the most.
Close knitting in her family and how her parents and her siblings took care of each other is worth reading;
It was touching to read how her father talked to all of his children separately before his death.
Brenda's belief in God is remarkable.

Comment by a British Writer Margaret Lossl shared on LinkedIn

"We all face challenges. I have found that 'what doesn't kill you will make you stronger' to be true. I have recently met an inspirational writer Brenda Mohammed and in her book 'Retirement is Fun: A New Chapter' (Amazon) she reveals her triumph over hazardous challenges. Her positive outlook and faith carry her through the difficult phase between her high-profile job in a bank and retirement, but it is in these halcyon days of retirement, that life really throws her a curved ball. No matter what you are going through, make it count and enable growth. You are not alone.

Five Star Review of Retirement is Fun: A New Chapter - A Memoir

A well-written chronicle of the author's experiences and adventures since her retirement from a long career in the bank August 26, 2014 Format: Paperback This inspiring book tells of the many adventures experienced by the author after retiring from a banking career. She talks about her new career in the insurance business and narrates, with meticulous detail, the many wonderful experiences in her new life including the birth of her grandchildren, her meeting of new friends, her travels abroad, and her continued enjoyment of life. For her, life certainly did not stop at retirement. Throughout the book, the author demonstrates a positive outlook on everything that happens in her life. Not only did she endure wonderful experiences, but she also had a bout with cancer and a terrible accident in Miami. She interprets these negative events in a positive light by using them to show how her faith helped her to overcome these obstacles. The author's appreciation of life is evident as she treasures every moment with her family and the time she shares with them. As in her previous books, the author once again exhibits a remarkable memory for details as she provides a meticulous description of all her activities since retirement. The style is simple and readable. The book shows that life certainly does not end when one retires. Life continues and one must live with a positive and determined spirit to continue experiencing the joy of life and to discover one's hidden talents. I enjoyed the positive spirit shown by the author in this book. She demonstrates that it is one's attitude that counts towards one's enjoyment of life. This book is recommended for all retirees or persons contemplating retirement. Get your Copy from AMAZON

Extract from the Book, "Retirement is Fun: A New Chapter " - A Memoir

We booked in at the Adam’s Mark Hotel where we had reservations. It was a fantastic hotel with four restaurants and a night-club. Some of our friends from Trinidad stayed in that same hotel. There were buffet lunches with a wide spread of dishes. The hotel was located on the 16th Street shopping mall with free mall rides every minute of the day and we took full advantage of that to do some more shopping. There was a cinema nearby and we attended a show on Sunday. When we returned to the hotel some of the agents from my agency who were staying at another hotel came to visit me at the Adam’s Mark Hotel. On Sunday night the MDRT Welcome reception was held at the Stadium at the Invesco Field which is the football field of the Denver Broncos. The Adam’s Mark Hotel was one of the hotels reserved by MDRT to be a meeting place for members to be transported to that Stadium. Dozens of buses pulled up at the hotel to take us to our destination. When we arrived there, popular music bands entertained us. There were lots to eat and drink. It was remarkable to see agents from every part of the world having such a good time together. I met many of my other friends from other agencies and we enjoyed the night together. At the Conference, on all three days, the speakers held our attention with their dynamic presentations. There was a young teacher who won the Teacher of the Year award in America. He said that he wrote a book and sent it to Oprah Winfrey. She invited him on her show, spoke about the book and held the book close to her heart. The next day his book was Number One in America. He used the royalties to open a chain of schools in America. I wondered if I could be so lucky if I submitted my book to her. Almost all of the speakers were afflicted with cancer and survived, or had a loved one who had it and died. Despite that they were all highly successful. In our spare time we took bus tours of Denver City and the Rocky mountains. We visited Buffalo Bill’s grave and Red Rock Canyon. We met lots of friends from Trinidad and other parts of the world and had dinner with some of them. It was a remarkable and memorable trip. This book is available at Amazon Universal Link
