You Won’t Believe What’s on Our Sister Sites (Video Update from Margaret)

One of the wonderful things about our community is that it is filled with women of all backgrounds and cultures, passions and interests. At the same time, as Sixty and Me has grown, it has become increasingly difficult to cover every single topic. So, several months ago, we launched 3 sister sites – Retire Different, Life After Death and She Cruises to go into the topics of retirement, spirituality and travel in more depth. In today’s video, I’d like to share the latest from each of these sites. I hope that you will make at least one of them a part of your daily routine. Have you visited any of our sister sites? Which one and what did you think? Are there any other topics that you feel deserve special treatment… or perhaps their own website and community?
