It truly spoke to me and I'm glad it touched you as well. Here's to the rebel and the gypsy in all of us. Hello Rhoda,

As a professional and passionate senior, I have seen the days of 60 and spread my wings, soaring as an eagle - I would not give up one of my gray hairs or lines on my face and I would not go back to my earlier years for anything - it took me a journey to get where I am, although, I have always been a rebel and gypsy and loving every bit of it! Senior women are more beautiful, spirited, passionate and intelligent than ever - we all are sisters! The light of my life are my 8 grandchildren - once is a great granddaughter and are the light of my life - the extraordinary love, emotions and warmth felt in the heart and soul is blessed! Thank you for this timely and passionate article and a big hug and thanks to Anne Lamott! What a beautiful, glorious and yet exciting and insightful article, which I almost did not read!

I LOVE your business idea and think it's high time for what you are putting out there. I am currently writing a memoir about my mother's last year or so of life and material, garments, threads are a huge part of the story. Flourishing and dying can, and do, go hand-in-hand.
