Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
We know vintage when we see it. A watch. A car. A bottle of wine. A jacket that fits in a way nothing new ever quite does. Silver that has been passed down. Plates that have fed three generations. We don’t dismiss these things because of their age. We seek them. We pay more for […]

Have you ever looked back at your younger self and thought – I wish I knew then what I know now? That thought is not regret, anxiety, or shame. It’s recognition. It’s your older, wiser self, acknowledging that something real and valuable has happened to you over time. You’ve grown. You’ve learned. You’ve lived deeply […]

You are Vintage. Which means the world (maybe even you and your inner bully) has been telling yourself pretty directly that your potential is behind you. That it leveled off in your thirties and forties — your so-called prime — and what remains now is merely maintenance. The retirement regime is clear: Your potential is […]

Some gifts are a complete surprise. This is one of them. Ann Sheybani — master editor, author, and owner of Summit Press Publishers – helped me discover the book I didn’t yet know I had inside me — wrote this tribute and shared it publicly. I am moved and profoundly grateful for her generous care. […]

Someone stood in the caves of Lascaux, France, thousands of years ago and painted. No audience. No certainty anyone would ever see it. No way of knowing that one day people would travel from every corner of the world to stand before those walls in breathless, reverent silence and awe. They painted anyway. With skill. […]

I’m not denying. Not running from… Ageing. I’m exploring and living it with curiosity, imagination, purpose and a certain creative delight. Because ageing is real, it’s part of all our lives, and there is something about it that culture must further discover and define. So I’m expanding it. Deepening it. Adding a word alongside it […]

There’s a word I’ve been exploring — filling it in, filling it out — turning it over in my head and hands until it told me what it meant. The word is vintage. And the life built around it is The Vintage Way. Here is what I know about vintage – only getting better with […]

At 74, I know something most younger people spend enormous energy avoiding: time is finite. And oddly enough, knowing that — really knowing it — is one of the most liberating things that has ever happened to me. The shift for me wasn’t dramatic. There was no crisis, no dark night of the soul. I […]

I want to tell you about Albert. Not because he needs an introduction. But because the world has a habit of making people disappear as they age — quietly, politely, but unmistakably — and Albert is living proof of how wrong that is. Albert is my husband, married 13 years ago, together for 30. He […]
