Another post in acknowledgement, and celebration, of my upcoming birthday


I like to describe myself as a proudly visible member of the most invisible segments of our society - older women.
Cindy Gallop


Clearly older women and especially older women who have led an active life or elder women who successfully maneuver through their own family life have so much to teach us about sharing, patience, and wisdom.
Alice Walker
