A revised edition of my book Paths – A Primer for Ladies-of-a-Certain-Age. A Workbook for the Road Ahead is now available in paperback and hardcopy.
My Book explores where ladies of a certain age often feel invisible and examines ways to redefine our role in society. It probes six crucial components of the latter third of life:
- Who am I now?
- What lies ahead?
- How do I deal with health issues?
- Where does the money come into all of this?
- Why and when may I need different housing?
- Will I have a purpose?
And, just in time, I might add. Across the country, the largest group of women ever (!) are entering their retirement years. Here in my state, Colorado, over 440,000 women are beginning this new stage of life. A sampling of numbers from states in various parts of the country include:
- Maryland 515,000
- Ohio 104,000
- Georgia 828,500
- Idaho 156,000
A lovely surprise arrived in my mailbox a couple of weeks ago: the proof copy of the hardcover edition of the book. I thought what a beautiful and thoughtful gift it would be. Then, I thought, Elizabeth, this would make a precious journal for anyone.
Another surprise for me was reviewing each exercise (yes, ” homework ” is in each chapter). I found them beneficial and intriguing, and, at 76, I am long past retiring. If you are 70 or older, you may find this book helpful as well.
Please help me spread the word about Paths – A Primer for Ladies-of-a-Certain-Age. A Workbook for the Road Ahead. This book is one of the few retirement books a woman wrote and looks at additional components of life besides money and health. Consider bringing a group of friends together to review the book over time. Women have cooperatively learned from each other throughout the ages and accomplished many tasks.
