When I was in my 30s, three important people died: my dad, my father-in-law, and my friend, Caroline.

Now in my 40s, I am keenly aware that old age—or even middle age—is not promised to us. This space is for me to consider: What shall I do with this time? What does it mean to grow and thrive in midlife and beyond.

Join me as I explore aging with curiosity and intention, from saving for retirement to starting a new hobby, from seeing the world to making peace with the end of life.

Also, I’ll try to answer the eternal question: should I get curly bangs?
