Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
How much are you worth? What is your value? Not financially. That’s not the question. The question is you — your skills, your expertise, your life experience, your credentials, your hard-won wisdom. Add it up. All of it. Every year of work, every lesson learned, every role mastered, every loss survived, every gift developed, and […]

I have three ancient keys. One opens the attic of my old French home in the country. The other two open the limestone caves on the property — deep, cool rooms carved into the earth where wine was once stored and slowly became what it was meant to be. These keys are large. Heavier than […]

Some people look at a mature person — a vintager, a sager — and see someone who is set in their ways. Stubborn. Fixed. Done learning and dismiss this human being with contempt. They have it exactly backward. What they are seeing is not rigidity. It is rootedness. The deep, earned confidence of someone who […]

There is a fake and hurtful message we tell ourselves about ageing. That we are becoming less. Smaller. That the years are subtracting from us, not adding. And the cruelest part is not that the world tells us this. It is that we believe it. We pick up the verdict and deliver it to ourselves. […]

There’s a nursing home in Deventer, Netherlands, doing something radical and life-enhancing. They’re giving college students free apartments. Rent-free with one catch. Each student must spend 30 hours a month with senior residents. Not as caregivers. As neighbors. Goodwill Ambassadors… even diplomates between young and Vintage Warriors. Conversations. Shared meals. Showing up. That’s it. That’s […]

There is a word that belongs to every Sager and every Vintager who has ever refused to stop. The word is insatiable. It means a desire so deep, so alive, so relentlessly present that it cannot be quenched. An appetite for life that does not diminish with age. A craving for more — more learning, […]

More quotes that readers commented on and came back to. They can create the change you’re looking for as you mature and become a Sager. 1. Vintageness is something ripening within you. Concentrating. Enriching. Becoming, with every passing moment and season, more essentially and unapologetically itself. You. 2. Vintageing is an active daily happening and […]

A reader wrote to me recently. She is a brilliant and careful person. She wasn’t describing pushback from the outside world. No one had dismissed her, passed her over, or spoken to her as if she were invisible. The ageism came from within. “It had to do with wrinkles that reached a certain depth. I […]
