For the second half of your life.
Name your worst fears and work backward from there. That is one way to stay sane. A colleague commented that she though FiftyandFurthermore ignored death. On the contrary, I understand death well. I believe it is only when we can stare at it directly that we understand the preciousness of very moment and become freer to live more fully. My colleague is in error.

Upon turning fifty I expected to wake up out of shape, gray, perhaps a little disillusioned, with minimal energy and even less ambition. But I found that instead I was still full of life - albeit needing a little more sleep and with a few more aches and pains. Then came sixty and with it a new kind of zest. I had experienced my share of painful challenges and good times. As a psychologist, I had spent close to forty years listening to people's ills, journeying with my clients through the depths of their pain and the heights of their potential. As my clients changed, I changed as well. Together, we celebrated and mourned births, job changes, marriages, divorces, profound personal triumphs, family transitions, illnesses and deaths. I reasoned that if we who were getting older were dealing with these evolving issues, so were others beyond my office walls. I created FiftyandFurthermore with this in mind – and every day I work to show society what SAGING really means.
