If you have come to this site, you are either a friend, a colleague, a family member or just someone who is aging and willing to admit it! In the “About Us” section, we give you some brief information about who we are and why we decided to start blogging about aging. For Nancy, it was her interest in sharing what she knows about resources for seniors and her willingness to share her feelings about the loss of her husband. For Linda, it was a love of blogging and a desire to write about her and her husband’s recent decision to move to a Continuing Care Retirement Community after a lifetime of living independently and traveling the world. For our initial co-blogger, Dinah Frishling, it was about her love of art and her experience travelling around the world.
We hope you will engage with us, read our posts, and comment to tell us what interests you. We have included a number of categories that we will be writing about like Preparing for the Future, Health Care, Pets, Lifestyle, Housing Options, Friendships, etc. We will be creating new material every week, so please subscribe (click on the “Subscribe” on the sidebar) to receive notices of the new posts we are writing. We never share your email with anyone else!
We have several posts available for viewing now (see the numbers and arrow at bottom of page) and will have a new post each week on Mondays. Each new post will stay on the home page until the next one is published, when it will go to the appropriate archived category for that month/year. If you miss one, you can always find it!
By the way, please feel free to share this blog with your friends and colleagues. Just send them to https://agingwomenblog.com
You can also visit us at https://substack.com/@lindabergthold where we will be posting our stories there as well.
Thanks for engaging with us!
Good morning – just want to say “thank you” for your idea of starting this blog – so far – I have found it to be very interesting, enjoy the articles and will look forward to reading the next one. Ursula, Moorpark
Thanks, Ursula. As we have discussed many times, getting older is not always perfectly easy but working together and sharing information really helps.
In the past year I have made new friends that I am confident if I need to call for help will respond. In my younger years I would not have expected this to happen at the age of 75. It occurred because I volunteer with Conejo Valley Village in Thousand Oaks.
Sandra, thanks for your wonderful comment. It really says a lot about CVV and what it has meant to seniors like you and me.
I salute you all for having the courage and conviction to start this blog! It will serve many of us entering a new and sometimes confusing time in our lives. Your collective wisdom and knowledge is vast and we welcome your views and experience. Thank you for sharing! It takes a Village!!
Thank you, Lori! We appreciate your support.
Lori, thanks so much for your comment and for what you mean to our senior community – first with Senior Concerns and now with CVV.
