Welcome to North Star Tranquility. We began this site about our journey towards a (very early) retirement as we worked through all the debates and discussions that were suddenly looming large. Like, where will we live, what will we fill our time with and how will we make our dream a reality? We know almost everyone will wonder these things at some point. But, life threw us a curve ball and we ended up traversing the peaks and troughs of terminal illness. We didn't know much about the cancer journey, so we thought we would document our experiences for others. So, any questions, maybe our blog can help!
