I've been working on who reads, and who might want to read my newsletter. Let me know if this reflects your interests - or have I got you completely wrong?
Thanks Sarb. Your four sentences resonated with me. My summary sentence would be: I’d like to be part of your informal community on Substack where we share our mid-life stories with the hope of finding connection and ways of thinking and living that feel thoughtful, useful and human. For example, I’d like to hear how people carve out or create time and space for themselves for restoration and reflection.
Hmm Thank you Sarb, I’ve just spent ten minutes trying to work out if I am early or middle aged! Is that mentally or physically? I live in Auckland but I am currently in West Sussex in the UK. Re- connecting with my elderly parents 90+ and trying to get my head round why they have so many medical appointments? I am on week four and I am cognitively exhausted. Gosh I’m the guy who thinks wow you’ve got this far what are you going to do for the next 43 years? I say 43 as that’s the general age when the older members of my Irish family ‘push up daises’ . In fact a first cousin on my mothers side just traveled to Ireland from NYC she’s 97! At that age it should be free travel ha. The last 2.5 years have being a bit of a blur so my priorities are: reconnecting with family in person, looking after my physical and mental health, update my LinkedIn profile, learning new skills, understanding the NHS, Stop buying Le Rustique Camembert it’s only £1.60 for 250g! Farro $18.00! Oh and trying to enjoy life a little.
I have to stop writing, appointment No. 14 Skin and Laser Clinic with Dad. Ho Hum.
Age is difficult to pick (in my sixties) but the rest seems to gel and resonate: connecting and reflecting to seek future directions for us and our communities.
