Supporting You in Your Desire to Change

I discovered this African proverb recently, and it has moved me profoundly: “When an old person dies, a library burns to the ground.” I thought about these words for a long time, and I see them as absolutely true. They honor the immense, accumulated knowledge and life experience that exists within every older person, regardless […]

I didn’t realize how much I’d accepted the rules of certain age-obsessed societies. The unspoken message in the USA is clear: hit 65, retire, fade away. You’ve served your purpose. Time to step aside. At 73 (living between the Caribbean and France), I’m studying what it means to age in different cultures. While some societies […]

We have tremendous gratitude to each mail person and the mail system for their steady help, nearly every day. The gratitude often goes unnoticed and unexpressed. They work in all […]

Challenging things happen to us all the time. It’s part of life. You’re convinced your story is over. The job is gone. The diagnosis came back. The relationship ended. You’re staring into darkness so thick you can’t remember what light feels like. But here’s what I’ve learned as both a coach and a fellow traveler […]

It’s time to stop tolerating patronizing and dismissive talk, and the assumption that aging means fading. If you’re tired of how society treats growing older, you’re ready for the Sage Renaissance.
