it’s time to raise a little hell

getting older = evolving into who you’re meant to become

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.

if you believe in:

growing older as more expansive than the world would have us believe

defining who you are, and who you are to be

the power of connection and belonging

spiritual self-care, the practice of gratitude, and the power of play

and approaching life with a sense of adventure

then you should join me.
