PHILADELPHIA, March 18, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AARP Pennsylvania brought a series of online and offline tools, to members today in Philadelphia during a special Life Reimagined workshop. Life Reimagined is a first-of-its-kind series of online and offline experiences that guide people through life transitions by helping them discover new possibilities and connect with a community of people pursuing similar passions and goals. Special guests Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter; The Honorable Blondell Reynolds-Brown, City of Philadelphia Councilwoman At-Large; Romona Riscoe-Benson, Manager, Corporate Relations PECO Energy; and The Honorable Annette Rizzo, Court of Common Pleas Judge (Ret.) joined Philadelphia residents and AARP members to help people rediscover a path to personal fulfillment.

With people living longer and redefining traditional notions of aging and retirement, a new life stage has emerged. Today, many people in their 50s, 60s and beyond are choosing to add these years in the middle versus tacking them on later in a "wind down stage." For many, this new life stage is strengthened by years of experience, accumulated knowledge and wisdom, and feelings of optimism for the possibilities ahead.

"AARP understands how important it is for people to set and achieve goals at any age," said Angela Foreshaw Rouse, AARP Pennsylvania Community Outreach Manager. "They are looking for tools, guidance, and connections to help them regain choice and control in their lives while discovering a path to personal fulfillment."

Life Reimagined online centers on an exclusive, customizable roadmap available at www.lifereimagined.org, which helps people understand where they are in their journey to achieve their goals and dreams, reflect, and make decisions in planning their next steps. Life Reimagined is powered by the Life Reimagined Institute for Innovation, a world-class group of thought leaders in the areas of life and career coaching, psychology, personal development, health and entrepreneurship.
