One of the things that I have noticed since starting the Sixty and Me community is that the happiest women among us are the ones that have found meaning in their lives. Some of us find comfort in a religion or spiritual belief. Others donate their time and treasure to political, environmental or social causes that they feel make the world a better place. Still others find meaning through their relationships with their friends and family. Everyone is different, but, we all need to be needed. We all need to feel like our lives matter. So, today, I would like to talk about how to find meaning in your life after 60. Come join us for a cup of tea (or coffee) and a chat. And, if you enjoy the show, please tell one friend about us today. Your support means so much to me! Read More

In addition, most of us are always on the lookout for clothes that look and feel amazing. Today, I’d like to ask you about your favorite fashion accessories. I will also share some tips for choosing and wearing beautiful brooches. Come join us for a cup of tea (or coffee) and a chat. And, if you enjoy the show, please tell one friend about us today.

Sleep is a mysterious process for many older adults. When we are babies, we sleep… well, like babies.

As younger adults, we could doze peacefully with a rock concert going on outside our window. Then, in our 50s and 60s, strange things start to happen. Our internal clock “shifts” and we may find ourselves falling asleep after dinner and waking up at 4 in the morning. Read More
