Multiplying Good News!

     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!
