In
my internet travels this week I found an interesting Facebook page
called
“Sixty and Me,” at https://www.facebook.com/sixtyandme
. The page describes itself as “a community for bold and fearless
women who are excited to be 60 years old and want to create a new
lifestyle - independent, financially secure, healthy, informed and
inspired!” And I was inspired on several levels. First, I always
uphold any venue that honors women anytime, anywhere so this page had
me at “hello.” Second, just launched on January 1, 2013, the page
has already garnered 2,420 “likes” which indicates that its
message is not only getting out but topically, its resonating with a
“grassroots” demographic which is the key to internet success.
Third, the page plans to explore for women what we take a look at for
baby boomer “retirees” in general as it explains in its well
stated intent because they and we see so much value in it. “ 'Sixty
and Me' is about reinventing and celebrating the next amazing chapter
of your life as a 60 year old woman. The group welcomes a community
of like minded women who don’t feel old, but who are passionate
about living life, embracing change, trying new things, meeting new
friends, and exploring new lifestyles.”
I
loved seeing that women from the United States are discovering the
page but was really excited when I saw that some European,
particularly Spanish speaking ladies, are clicking on too. As the
page continues I hope that the special flavor that women of color can
add will be embraced and explored also. All in all, its exciting to
have another voice join ours on the web! And speaking of another
voice, Retooling
Retirements, the
written blog, is in preliminary production to add Retooling
Retirements, the talk radio show, to the airways and the discourse.
As we continue our journey toward being “on the air,” we'll keep
you updated!
