A Warm Welcome

Welcome.  If you have found your way to this blog, I am grateful and I know there is more than coincidence that has led you here.

I began thinking about this topic as a natural outcome of turning 70 and realizing not only how far I'd come in my life, but also of how far I still had to go. I love journeying with others and as a psychotherapist/Life coach I have worked with many people (mainly women) who wanted release from past emotional wounds,to create more healthy relationships with family, work and themselves.  It was the work I myself had to do throughout my 30's and 40's until in my 50's I was more productive than ever I had been.  I loved seeing others take that path to fullness as well.

Now as I transitioned through my 60's and entered my 70's I saw I wanted to do more than guide others through change. I wanted to join women everywhere who had made this wonderful journey and who have arrived at what I consider to be the Third Trimester of Life (there are others who have used this phrase, so I don't claim it as my own, but I did come to it through my own musings)

I'm still creating my approach toward this end, but I know blogging and discourse and of course social networking will be a mainstay.  There is more to come.  By the way, I'm beginning to use "online community" to better represent that phenomena.  So dear friends,  there will be more.  There is much to say, talk about, share, create and become.  I will post again very soon.  Stay tuned. Comment at will.
