I have just hit the 'milestone birthday' of 60 and I am already looking forward to the increased acceptance that you describe in your 70s. I think your distinction being 'aging' and 'being old' is one that I am learning from my elders like yourself, and with deep gratitude. Recently, I took part in a program with Sage-ing International and I was the youngest participant, most were in their mid-70s+ and I absolutely loved being with my elders, and learning with and from them. Thank you for your work Carol, and for walking the path ahead of me.
Thanks Jody, I admire your writing, as well. You mention Sage-ing. I've been waiting for the right moment to make my big announcement and you've cracked the door open for a sneak preview. Sage-ing, the leading global organization in the conscious aging field, will be forming weekly Spiritual Aging Study and Support Groups in December to begin meeting online throughout 2025 for a Year of Reflection using my Dec/24 release Spiritual Aging: Weekly Reflections for Embracing Life and my Substack study guide posts as the leader's discussion guide! Details forthcoming., In terms of learning from our elders, my mentors have all recently passed which is very sobering. I was starting to kick back at 70 until I realized I'd been passed the baton. It is so gratifying to discover you and others who are walking this at once challenging and gratifying path beyond midlife., Thanks for reaching out!
