Looking forward to reading more! I am 57 and very recently retired. You will be a great encourager to me.
My goal is to squeeze all sorts of fun and love and adventure out of his next chapter. Just booked a February ski trip to Lake Tahoe and will be biking in the Black Forest next month. Let's gooooo!
Thank you for moving me to my core! I turned 58 two days ago, and while I have spent my entire adulthood saying "Thank you," and "Yes, really," to people who think I'm one to two decades younger than I am--depending on my stress level at the time--I am (still/always) struggling with being in a body. I fully embrace the "never too old" mentality about most things, and as a therapist (licensed at the ripe age of 52), I can readily promote and hold that vision for my clients. Tonight, I really needed to hear this.
Cole, the year I turned 58, I wrote my first book. Damned thing went on to win three prizes. Surprised me!!! We don’t know what we can do until we try.
Julia, these are beautiful photos. You radiate vitality and the joy of living. I found you some time after you started your Substack so never saw this first post. Thanks for being such an inspiring example.
Joe, why say "for your age." What does that mean anyway. She looks good and works hard to be that way. Gloria Steinem once said, "this is what forty [and later, fifty, sixty..eighty] looks like. In my upcoming book, I suggest we change that to (in my case), "This is what eighty lives like!"

Thanks so much. I may restack more earlier stuff. You make a good point! Nobody sees most of our initial work.
You look good...for your age 🙆🏼♂️
Thank you for being so inspiring and honest.
Many thanks. Doing my best!
