Newsletter – Wednesday 29 March 2017

by | Newsletter

Hello,

Thanks so much for being one of my early subscribers, I am so pleased that you have joined me.

Expect a mid-week email from me sharing what’s new on the blog.

At our age, I want us to do more of what we want to do, and much less of what we feel we ought to do. The website is something I’ve created with underlying joy. I’ve learnt a lot about creating websites, working with my designer to set up sub sites to tie in with books and other ideas. But this time this is something I am going to love to focus on.

I want to inspire you, and perhaps my approach will help you. I had this vision, used my skills, and bought in the skills I don’t have and here it is. And I made it happen fast. Why hang about when you have a vision?
I’ll be writing under 4 main areas

  • Health and well being
  • Careers
  • Relationships
  • Inspiration

I could have more sections, but think it will be easier for you, and me to keep to these themes. Inspiration will be around topics to make you think, including learning more about ourselves and how we can grow and develop.

What I want is to hear from you, how you feel about the life challenges you are experiencing. Many of these will be for the good, but some may be a little darker, and I think we should address these too. And we may want another section. Nothing is fixed, I’m open to developing, all to the good.

You can help me too by telling your friends. The more people of our age who sign up, the greater impact I can have.

I have so many ideas and I want to have impact; I’m so pleased to have you here. Anything you would like me to write about?
This afternoon I’ve posted a short video on views of ageing from around the world.

You may already be a subscriber to my Amazing People Newsletter. You will also get an email from me related to wider career issues. This comes out on a Saturday afternoon. I hope you find that useful too.

I’m looking forward to learning more about you, feel free to comment on any of my blog posts, such as this one.
