It's wonderful to get these comments. How about more of you? I know you're out there.
Claudia's response to my call:
I am on the look out for women like me. I live in a small country town and find I don't connect with women of my age group. I'm looking for more. I want to maximise this time in my life. Missed out on the 70's revolution because of being bogged down with child rearing and have made a promise to myself that my aging will be as interesting as I can make it.
Claudia just wrote to say she's off for a "sailing adventure" with 3 others, all experienced yacht crew members whose average age is 70. As she says (I can imagine her smile), "Should be good fun."
Lucy's response to my call:
I used to wish there was a magazine for women over 70, like there is "More" for women over 50. I turned 75 in September, have retired from TWO careers, and just a year ago, I was hired as full-time faculty for our state university. I am energetic, healthy, sexually active (not married), a great-grandmother, and fashionable. I also write a blog (please check it out - http://lavalily.com) and do things many of my students can't or won't do. They say I give them a new role model for aging. I'm glad I found you!
Gaea's response to my call:
Hi, I'm about to turn 69 in April. I just finished writing a musical play on aging titled A New Wrinkle, which I hope to see performed in many cities as a vehicle for social change (cultural perceptions of elders are outdated--time for emergence of a new paradigm!) I began developing Sage's Play, offering programs in creative aging, wellness and spirit, www.sagesplay.com and started a blog at http://sagesplay.blogspot.com. I find this a very rich time of life. Glad to connect with you!
From Lynne: How about more of us finding each other? This is our Tribe!
