WATCH: A Surprising Take on Graduation
There's no cap and gown, but a new horizon is waiting

When you think of the milestones in life deserving of a celebration, do you think of retirement?
As this rousing and congratulatory speech given by Twin Cities poet, teacher and dancer Mary Moore Easter reveals, those who are "graduating" to retirement have much more to celebrate than they may realize.
Look for additional episodes of the "Welcome Graduates" series on Next Avenue in the next few weeks. Each individual featured offers a different and inspiring take on the milestone of graduating from work ... to life.
(The "Welcome Graduates" videos are produced by Marissa Blahnik and directed by Brennan Vance.)
