Other Plans by Kristine

A little retirement. A lot of real life.

Hi, I’m Kristine.

After 23 years in emergency dispatch, I’m finding my own rhythm in retirement. Here you’ll find garden days, creative projects, and the things I’m learning as I go.

Other Plans by Kristine. We should probably compare notes. Colorful flowers frame the name.

A new song from Calming Notes Studio

Life had other plans. Now it has a song.

I did the school, marriage, family, career, and retirement part. Figuring out what comes next? I'm still working on that.

Other Plans is an upbeat song inspired by this chapter of my life: trying new things, helping others, and finding joy along the way.
