That’s me at 21. In my youthful exuberance, I decided I didn’t need to age beyond that. After all, I could vote and buy liquor 😳 (though hopefully not at the same time).
And for a while… it worked. At least in my mind, I wasn’t aging at all.
Then came my 25th birthday. My husband and I were chatting with neighbors when he casually mentioned the occasion. I laughed and said, “Yeah, I’m a quarter-century old.”
Suddenly, it hit me: A quarter-century?
That sounded ancient!
It was the first time I realized I needed to shift my perspective on aging. I couldn’t stop the years from passing, but I could change the way I thought about them.
That moment planted the seed for my mission today: to help Baby Boomers like you reclaim purpose, revive dreams, and embrace aging with faith and vitality.
That’s why I’ve written:
- Stop Thinking Old (the book),
- Stop Thinking Old Journal Tracker,
- Stop Thinking Old Musings & Word Search Puzzles.
Together, these resources are designed to encourage, challenge, and inspire you as you discover that aging doesn’t have to mean slowing down—it can mean living with greater clarity, joy, and purpose than ever before.
