This was so rich! I loved all of it! I told Gary that I will have to climb Kilimanjaro also. And perhaps get on the cover of Elle in MY birthday suit; the Maye Musk nude was very tastefully photographed. I loved Beatrice Woods' comment about what keeps her young. Age is relative HAHA! Loved the story about your grandma; wish I had met her! "Elders" doesn't even begin to describe these women. "Way-Showers" may be a better term.

Thanks for another insightful and inspiring newsletter. I appreciate how you come from your heart as well as your head. I also appreciate that you don't send me a newsletter several times a week. I read yours because I know it's full of valuable information and perspectives. Your newest topic, Changing the Face of Aging, is so important to me!

~ Lynn Murphy, Womenwhopushthelimits.com

Love, Love, Love this! You are amazing and none of us "older women" are ready to stop, just change our path and realign our compasses. Thank you for all you do, you are an inspiration!

Susan I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything you wrote! You're such an excellent writer! I nominated a dear friend as a "Modern Elder"! She's someone I admire and respect so much! I love your message in this newsletter....who am I NOW!!! Such a good and important question. I'm with you...I love the correlation you made to being a baby boomer, and the fact that we are rebels, and trendsetters...and we can change the future image of aging! Woooooooooooo hoooooooooooo! I LOVE it! I have no idea what's next for me. But, I know for sure that I want to stand for this theme of changing the perception of aging!!!

Your emails are always so inspiring. You are an incredible writer and I look forward to receiving and reading all your emails. You totally motivate to live and to live large! I like how you end your story below... "Just like the Jews, I would rather die trying than to miss the experience." That's just what I needed to hear today!

~ Delia Gomez

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your story... how cool that you climbed to the top of the mountain. Even cooler, I love the memory with your son that came from that experience!

This is the best newsletter, such sage advice and attitude coming when it's been so dark for everyone. Thank you for taking a forklift of inspiration and lifting us up!
