“Driven by heart rather than ego”. So beautifully said, Dina. We certainly need more of this. Thank you for these thoughtful insights. I hope your husband is soon feeling back to full strength. I was just writing about Brooke Shields for The Sunday Six! I’m looking forward to reading. And I pre-ordered Naomi’s book last year but had forgotten it was coming out so soon. Can’t wait xo

Excited to see all of these books shining a light on midlife and providing valuable resources- it's about time! And thank you so much- I think the world would be a much better place if we could just get all of the outsized egos out of the way..x

Beautifully written, Dina, as always. ❤️🙏🙏 (And do hope your husband is fully recovered now, that sounds horrible - much around over here, too). XO

So much to look forward in this midlife space now that it has become what it should have been all along. Viewed as our moment to truly shine! I only saw pieces of the funeral but adored President Carter for the humanitarian he was - what a lovely piece to read today!

I couldn’t get myself to watch the funeral. I just couldn’t stomach seeing someone so immoral seated at a funeral service for someone who epitomized morality and goodness.

I understand. I think you would really enjoy the Ford speech though- linking if you want to read or watch:

I’m so excited for Ramona at Midlife to air! And speaking of genius writers, I loved what transpired this week with @Valmonroe’s articles — I have written so often about the need to change our attitude versus our vocabulary. Old is not a judgement but a fact.
