Women Rowing North: Writing Our Life Stories

Welcome! I appreciate you taking the time to see if this blog is the right fit for you! I have launched this blog to explore our collective journey as women ‘of a certain age’…

Ageless Possibilities explores our collective journey as older women, taking care to notice what is around us, what matters to us, and what is inside each of us.

I am an information junkie and I would love to share with you some of the many books, blogs and resources that have become part of my journey in exploring ageless possibilities…

Find nonfiction books about women ageing and fiction featuring older women as main characters.
