Engage.

To “engage” and share your thoughts and comments about the 64 project or any of these published essays, please head over to the private fb community for HER NEXT ACT. To share your own essay about what the phrase “When I’m 64” conjures up for you, please e-mail joan@hernextact.com.

The essays are intended to be relatively brief, between 500-1000 words, and the essay project is actually a valuable “exercise” for those of any age. Taking a moment to check in with oneself has got to help define - and more importantly help one LIVE - a life that feels fulfilling and “comfortable”, whatever that means to each of us. The initial contributors commented that this “assignment” was more challenging than at first imagined. That stated, every one of them remarked that it was rewarding and worthwhile to pause and reflect, and then put “pen to paper” as to what this phase of life looks like or what one hopes to create.
