An online journal for women engaging the third third of their lives.
The Third Third Topic: Retirement
Unlike our mothers before us, we in the third third have choices to make — about where we live, what we do, if we volunteer, our impact on the world, what we want to be called, our financial resources, how long one can remain blond, the importance of our relationships, indeed our very quality of life. Lots to explore and discuss.
Perspectives on Retirement
Stuck in Neutral?

Sand Traps in my Comfort Zone!
My kids say I am a sucker for anything labeled “New” in the grocery store.
