I admire you, Lixy, for doing the looking. I was in the same boat the last several years of my career employment but hated to risk the lost of insurance, regular income and retirement benefits ... and so stuck it out several extra years until I could retire.

I really believe retirement has been a godsend for me. Now, I'm exhausted doing things I love doing (mainly volunteer work) and haven't missed the ol' job for a minute. A little less income, but a lot more satisfaction with my life.

I sure hope that you find what you're looking for. I wish I had a great answer for where to look, but Lilith and others have already helped there. Just know, our hopes will sure be with you.
