History of Refired Not Retired Day

Refired, Not Retired Day was founded by Phyllis May as she embarked on her mission to start her big life and rediscover her passion for life after she retired and her husband left. She started by moving to Key West, Florida, a town where she didn't know anyone, and started over at the age of 55. She started taking on various jobs to keep herself active and experienced. Experience the things that her previous professional life prevented her from doing.

Since then, she has had a variety of interesting jobs, from working as a concierge, working a variety of temporary jobs, serving breakfast and now at a gift shop. Doesn't this sound interesting to you? All of this is to listen to Caribbean music all day. All she needed was a cheeseburger and she did it!

Things really took a turn when she hosted her own TV show for a year and then advertised a book called “Keys to Paradise… a cool guide to Key West,” the first edition of the series. Miss. She's not living her life in retirement, she's living it SERVE.

That date was March 1, 1998, and although she didn't know it at the time, it would become Refired Not Retired Day. It was here that she recreated, recreated and recreated her life. She did some trivial jobs - but they were fun and brought her a lot of joy. She also had a local TV show for a year, wrote a few books, and traveled for several years doing seminars. Starting at the age of 55, she has really taken hold of her life and made sure she has a great second act. The purpose of Refired Not Retired Day celebration was to help others do the same!
