A new planet for over 60s…

Once upon a time on the edge of the galaxy, a beautiful lady called Rebecca had a vision. That vision was to create a website for space travellers who roamed the galaxy in search of a place to call home. It would be known as Starts at 60.

This would be a special place where everyone was welcome. Essentially it would be for the hardened and battle weary travellers who after many years of hard work had reached a certain stage in their lives. The stage when they could start to relax and hopefully enjoy the world they had been instrumental in shaping.

The place that Rebecca created was small in the beginning but rapidly grew as more and more travellers became aware of this stop over in cyberspace. From all walks of life they came and soon Rebecca realised that the place was growing at such a rate that she was going to need help.

A plan was hatched to enlist a group of special assistants. These were carefully selected to ensure that they understood what Rebecca’s vision was all about and that they would be sympathetic to the needs of this special community. They would come from all corners of the galaxy and bring with them the experience and skills necessary to ensure the continued success of Starts at 60.

As time passed the word spread and soon thousands of travellers were altering course to become part of the community. Here was a place to share experiences and to voice an opinion. To pass on to others and to seek advice. Some of the travellers began to write stories about their lives and the places they had visited. They told of the good times and the bad. They shared stories about family life and of their dreams and ambitions. In turn they commented on what others thought and in so doing voiced opposing views that expanded the discussion.

Starts at 60 had kindled a desire that smoulders within us all. The desire to share with others and to voice an opinion. It fostered new friendships and became the voice of a generation.

Starts at 60 had become what Rebecca hoped it would. Long may it prosper and grow.

It was so heartwarming to receive this lovely article from Rod. We hope that many of you feel the same. We love helping this beautiful community to come together and celebrate each other. – Rebecca and the Starts at 60 team.
