WE ARE NOT ALONE! Did you know that every ten seconds a women turns 60 and enters what people like to call OLD AGE? DON’T FORGET YOUR SWEATER, GIRL delves into the heart and soul of senior women living the Good Life! We like to call the women in this book the New Ambassadors of Aging; vibrant, positive and determined to live a good life while aging without boundaries.
This book is a labor of love between two sisters; Jessica, age 62 living on the East Coast near Boston, and Marilou, 70 on the West Coast in Southern California. Together, they interviewed women from all walks of life age 60 and over (including two centenarians) who talk about their hopes and dreams for the future, what makes them happy, motivated and relevant as they kick up their heels in response to the side effects of aging. These women share their secrets for managing money, making friends, staying physically and cognitively active and offer personal secrets for how to Navigate Each Decade with Optimism and Grace.
