Self-Directed Retirement Investing

**Saturday • May 16 • 2–5 PM • Ashburn, VA** Many people say they want to write a book someday — **this session helps you start.** Your life experiences already contain stories, lessons, and insights that could become books. The real challenge is **how to organize those experiences and actually turn them into writing.** In this interactive session, I’ll share the approach I’m using to build a **multi-book journey based on lived experience.** So far I have: 📚 **3 books published on Amazon** 📖 **1 more books releasing this year** (end of the year) 📝 **16 additional books planned** — and likely many more. This session is not about writing **just one book**. We’ll explore how your experiences can evolve into **multiple books over time**, and how to **use AI the right way to speed up your writing while keeping your voice authentic.** *** ### What We’ll Explore • Turning life experience into book ideas • How one journey can become multiple books • Simple ways to structure stories and lessons • Using **AI to organize ideas and speed up writing** • Practical strategies to actually finish a book **Everyone will leave with the outline of their first book idea.** **You don’t need writing experience — just curiosity about how your life experiences might turn into ideas worth sharing.** *** ### Event Details 💵 **$25 RSVP — includes coffee + snacks** 📍 **Ashburn, VA** (exact address shared after RSVP) 🕑 **2:00 PM – 5:00 PM** 👥 **Max 10 people** for a small, interactive conversation. Most attendees are professionals, entrepreneurs, and people navigating reinvention or new chapters in life. *** # Background — Writing & Reinvention Journey Writing has been one of the most powerful tools in my own reinvention journey. What began as reflections during a difficult life transition gradually evolved into published books and a growing body of work focused on reinvention, personal growth, and life transitions. My goal is not just to write books — but to help others realize that their experiences may also hold stories worth sharing. *** # 🔗 Midlife Reinvention Ecosystem 🌐 Website [https://midlifereinvention.co](https://midlifereinvention.co) ▶ YouTube (400K+ views) [https://www.youtube.com/@midlife_mindfulness](https://www.youtube.com/@midlife_mindfulness) 💼 LinkedIn (4K+ followers) [https://www.linkedin.com/in/anju-debnath-0061524/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anju-debnath-0061524/) 🤝 Meetup Community (300+ Members) [https://www.meetup.com/ashburn-transition-meetup-group/](https://www.meetup.com/ashburn-transition-meetup-group/) 📚 Amazon Author Page [https://www.amazon.com/stores/Anju-Debnath/author/B0FFNBVZLQ](https://www.amazon.com/stores/Anju-Debnath/author/B0FFNBVZLQ)

Join our weekly walking meetup to have fun, maintain a healthy lifestyle, meet new people, and enjoy nature! We meet Saturdays at 10am, by the bike racks and benches 150 feet in front of BUBBLES Hair Salon in Reston, leaving no later than 10:05. Every week we'll walk the Green Trail to Lake Anne Plaza (\~1 mile), pause there for 5-10 minutes (water, bio, and from April-Nov a Farmer's Market), then circle the lake (2 miles) before returning to our starting point. It's roughly 3.5 miles and takes about an hour and a half. Afterwards, some members will often head to a local restaurant to refuel and relax before tackling the rest of the day. This event is open to all ages and fitness levels, and both friends and dogs are always welcome! We recommend dressing for the weather (umbrella, water bottle, snow shoes, hat, etc.) since we'll always walk, rain or shine. By signing up, you accept and assume all risks and responsibilities with this activity, and nobody will be held liable.

This monthly Sistership Circle is an invitation to step out of the busyness of everyday life and into a space of intentional connection. *** **Registration:** Please go directly to our Eventbrite page to register: [https://sistership-circle-may-2026.eventbrite.com](https://sistership-circle-may-2026.eventbrite.com) *** Whether this is your first time or you’ve joined before, you are warmly welcome. This is not a casual social meetup. It is a thoughtfully held space where you don’t have to perform, fix or hold everything together. *** **What to expect:** This is a guided, small-group experience that may include: • grounding and gentle breathwork • simple nervous system support practices • facilitated group conversation • time for reflection and integration ✨ We intentionally keep this gathering small (up to 12 women) to preserve the intimacy and quality of the experience. *** Women often leave feeling: • more grounded • more connected • more supported • and more themselves Each month offers a unique theme, while holding a consistent intention: to create a space where you can arrive as you are, exhale, and feel supported.

When a living room becomes a concert hall! Jeremy Facknitz brings the magic to our house concert series, coming all the way from Colorado Springs in May. He has been delighting audiences with his unique brand of high-energy theatrical folk-rock-jazz for nearly 30 years. Heavily influenced by Ben Folds, Billy Joel, Elvis Costello, James Taylor, and the like, his music is a throwback to when singer-songwriters weren’t afraid to turn it up, look you in the eye, and play more than the same tired four chords. He embodies the soul of an old-time troubadour bitten by a radioactive rockstar. John Apice of “American Highways” says “This is all far above the ordinary…a good time is guaranteed for all.” John Barlass from “The Barrier” writes “Jeremy Facknitz is, indeed, a major talent – and, I can guarantee, like nothing you’ll have ever heard before.” **Come be dazzled by this multi-instrumentalist at our dessert and drink potluck! Please bring a dessert or beverage to share!** ***Details with our address and other info will be sent to you before May 16th.*** **Doors open at 7:00 pm. Music will begin \~7:45 pm.** **We kindly ask you leave your shoes at the door.** Wear your craziest socks to win a prize! Boring socks are...boring! :) **Suggested donation: $25-30/person (100% of all contributions are given directly to the musician) (Cash or Venmo)**
