TIME FLIES WHEN YOU’RE HAVING FUN!
I haven’t gotten used to dating my checks (yes, I still use them!) in the twenty-first century and it’s already about to be 2011. It’s true that time seems to pass more quickly as you age, but it is also true that for women in our generation with every passing year many things get better. I, […]

“BEST AFTER 60” – OUR LIVES ARE NOT OUR MOTHERS’ LIVES!
When I wrote, “Fifty Is the New Fifty. Sixty, I hasten to add, is also the new sixty, and seventy the new seventy. And the women who are the new fifty, sixty, and seventy wouldn’t want it to be anything else…” I knew that we are a different generation than our mothers.

WHAT MY CIRCLE OF TRUST IS READING THIS SUMMER!
Summer Reading is still at the top of our list of things to do now….

SUMMER READING – NEED WE SAY MORE?
Circle of Trust Summer Favorites! Why do we read more in the summer? Maybe because we take long trips that are conducive to long reads. Maybe because we lie in the sun (for short stretches) and the shade for hours. One thing I know: this is the season when we recommend a wider range of […]
