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?

Don’t Let Self-Criticism Prevent You from Getting the Most from Life After 60

Life after 60 is complicated. Over the decades, we have experienced a full spectrum of emotions. We have loved and lost. We have passed milestones and celebrated accomplishments. But, no matter how full our lives have been, we are filled with questions.

Give Your Aging Brain a Boost with… Reading and Writing?

When it comes to keeping your aging brain healthy, there are plenty of companies that are willing to take your money. Supplement companies tell us that pills and potions will keep us sharp. Video game companies swear that just 20-minutes a day with their “brain games” is what we need. There are even gyms that combine mental and physical exercises for older adults. Actually, this last one is probably a good idea! In any case, today, I want to talk about something simple (and FREE) that each of us can do every day to give our brains a boost. That’s right, I’m talking about good old-fashioned reading and writing. I hope that you enjoy today’s video! What are you doing to keep your brain healthy? Do you follow a special diet? Play brain games? Read? Write? Stay social?
