Feisty Aging: Hope Wins for Seniors: Volume 2 - Softcover

Feisty Aging is packed with inspiring models for finding the treasures in your own aging. Read the stories of individuals, communities, organizations and even countries that recognize the riches life’s last chapter offers. The heroes of these short stories defy the stereotypes that sideline aging citizens. They question the lack of foresight that keeps older people from being considered for jobs or viewed as interesting people with much to contribute. The seniors you meet here will inspire you to write that book, run that marathon or pursue that dream you thought you were too old to contemplate. They will also give you a sense of anticipation, rather than dread, as you consider your own aging.

Cathryn Wellner is a writer and photographer who can usually be found staring at her computer screen or taking her camera for a walk. She is on a hunt for what is right with the world and blogs about the creative, generous, brilliant, kind, inventive people who are making a mark on the planet. Those stories can be found on her website, This Gives Me Hope. She also writes about the many ways in which women support and encourage each other through the hard times. Women clamber over barriers by Catching Courage (the title of her blog) from the experience of those who have survived and thrived. Most of her writing is online these days, but she is venturing back into the print world with the Hope Wins series and a forthcoming memoir, The Reluctant Farmer, as well as books that showcase her photography.
