🌺 Women in their 60s often desire to be vibrant, connected, and purposeful. With the kids grown and gone, and retirement approaching, many start to feel lost without the constant demands that once filled their days. Loneliness and the ever-present question of “what’s next?” can weigh heavily.
But here’s the thing: this stage of life is an invitation, not a loss. After decades of pouring into others, now is the time to pour into yourself. Joy often hides in small things — a hobby, volunteering, or joining a local group. And science agrees. The Harvard Study of Adult Development shows that strong relationships and a sense of purpose are key to lifelong happiness. The National Institute of Aging highlights that engaging in activities you enjoy — whether it’s gardening, painting, or volunteering — boosts mental health and reduces isolation. Even volunteering has been linked to better physical health and longer life, according to the Mayo Clinic research. Purpose doesn’t have to be grand; it can be found in connection, creativity, or contribution. Think back to the dreams you tucked away with the promise of “someday.” Maybe someday is now.
So, let me ask you something: What’s one small step you can take today to invite calm into your new normal?
Until next time beautiful! 💕
