Personal Retirement Project

Uni-thmbI just completed an engaging assignment: Illustrate your idea of Retirement. The client is Principal Financial Group. The finished illustration is now out in the social media universe, with the textual description:How do I imagine spending my days during retirement? How about enjoying the cool ocean breeze, while I unicycle along the coast. What’s your vision for retirement?#SeeYourRetirement #ad@PrincipalFinancialGroupI took up unicycling a few years ago, and it has become one of my favorite activities... OK, maybe a bit of an obsession!  It challenges the body and mind, and necessitates full-time, focused attention. It's not what you'd call "Happy Hour", as there is always the threat of crashing and burning on the pavement, as I have done many times!

Long story, but my daughter took it up in her youth, and it always looked like so much fun.bridget-on-wheelBridget Sprouls is here riding on rough pavement, 'walking' her dog-- This is highly advanced riding!But... Here's the fun part: The original art is a little different than the social media presentation, and I present it to you, here, in the original format...Sprouls Retirement~finish
