are you ready to help lead the rebellion?
Well, friends, not long now: only 6 weeks left until the official pub date of Radiant Rebellion.
When I told people that I was writing a book about joyful aging, they were thrilled … and then they offered a litany of issues I should tackle.
“Talk about how our looks fade.”
“Talk about chronic illness.”
“Talk about decline.”
It made no sense: at the time, I was turning 55, my daughter was graduating college, and my happy marriage was turning 20. I was feeling great. And as I looked around at my friends my age and older, they were all doing amazing things: writing bestselling books. Producing musicals. Teaching college classes. Why did folks have such negative views about aging, when everyone I was surrounded by was just getting started?
And so, I set out to discover the answer to that question and figure out if there was any way that I could rebel against convention as I got older. In the process, because the wisdom of some amazing folks —including Brené Brown, Tarana Burke, Ashton Applewhite, Linda Lorelle, Brad Montague and Steve Bennett, just to name a few — was too good not to share, it all went into my book. October 17th, Radiant Rebellion: Reclaim Aging, Practice Joy & Raise a Little Hell will come to the world. And I could use your help to spread the word.
To start, I’m looking for about a few people to help me with the book's official launch. If you’re located in the United States, have at least one social media profile, and believe that growing older is more expansive than the world would have us believe, I’d love it if you’d join my book launch squadron. The details of what’s involved are over at this link — not a ton of work at all, and the best part is we’ll have a fun, committed little community of folks where we’ll get to brainstorm creative ways to entice folks to join the radiant rebellion. It’s absolutely free to join, of course — and if you join me, there’s even some goodies that will be coming your way, right to your mailbox.
BUT THERE’S MORE.
If you’re not up for actually joining the squadron but still want to help get the word out, please stay tuned! We’ll be opening up the rebellion on a wider basis in a few weeks, to a private group that will be equally joyous and equally fun. More about that very soon.
I hope you join me, friends. It’s time to raise a little hell.
A little about the new book.
