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
