The Importance of Random Acts of Kindness

Does it ever feel like, socially speaking, the world is becoming a colder place.

How to Stop Feeling Sorry for Yourself

In fact, I have come to the conclusion that feeling sorry for yourself can actually prevent you from taking the positive steps necessary to solve your problems. So, today, I would like to offer 10 positive suggestions for fighting back against self-pity. Come join us for a cup of tea (or coffee) and a chat.

What Brings Meaning to Your Life?

One of the things that I have noticed since starting the Sixty and Me community is that the happiest women among us are the ones that have found meaning in their lives. Some of us find comfort in a religion or spiritual belief. Others donate their time and treasure to political, environmental or social causes that they feel make the world a better place. Still others find meaning through their relationships with their friends and family. Everyone is different, but, we all need to be needed. We all need to feel like our lives matter. So, today, I would like to talk about how to find meaning in your life after 60. Come join us for a cup of tea (or coffee) and a chat. And, if you enjoy the show, please tell one friend about us today. Your support means so much to me! Read More

One of the biggest myths about women over 60 is that we no longer care about how we look. What nonsense.

In addition, most of us are always on the lookout for clothes that look and feel amazing. Today, I’d like to ask you about your favorite fashion accessories. I will also share some tips for choosing and wearing beautiful brooches. Come join us for a cup of tea (or coffee) and a chat. And, if you enjoy the show, please tell one friend about us today.
