I support anyone brave enough to pen about the pernicious questions of midlife, which I left years ago. I"m still in the middle of plenty of muddle but I wish I'd had this kind of insight years ago.
Lily Pond is a fine place to ponder. Not only are Louisa's thoughts about being the child of an immigrant family worth exploring and understanding (for in truth, we all are) but she explores huge questions which touch all our souls.
If anyone else is a speaker, and I have been for years and am currently rebooting my career slowly but surely, Dr. Yazeed is a fine resource. That said, for those aspiring, please get your skills in order before you start applying for those keynote jobs. I also appreciate the rich humor and perspectives she brings to the middle-aged woman. I'm well past that now, but can appreciate how much I wish I'd had that kind of insight fifty years ago!
I don't read much political material as it can be terribly depressing. But Scott keeps his thumb on the pulse of what's up, and keeps us informed. To that, yes, on all counts. We may not want to breathe politics every day unless that's your jam, but I keep up with it with Scott as I am a fellow journalist, and we do need to know the news. Since I consider MAGA and all its elements a terrible threat to what I stood for as a veteran, I'm all in here.
As a fellow wanderer, I support those who wander responsibly, offer insights and teachings about why we travel, and inspire couch potatoes to get out and go. Don't wait until your body won't support your dream. Just. Do. It. Now.
This deeply honesty and emotional Stack will challenge you to think hard about your assumptions about life. Eileen is living a difficult journey and doing it bravely. Bravo.
I write about change and transition, and Debbie immerses herself in the process of moving through one of life's biggest transitions: loss of your partner, and starting all over again. Raw and real.
