I’ve always taken care of people with chronic pain as a holistic physical therapist. Now after 35 years, at age 66 I’ve been waiting to begin my authorship years as I softened my work flow. now my hands can’t type because of a secondary disease on top of my collagen, hyper mobility. I never thought that I would reach my prime days of when I would do my real work as a disabled person. I’m very fortunate to be a physical therapist, Health Coach, writer and many other things that allows me to thrive in this time. I’m a double Aquarian too. I do things for the good of all and for community sake I guess this is the time where I’m supported to do the work. I really came in to do. I’m excited to have found this group, because there’s nobody around me that supports me still working everyone’s

retired and crabbing about their health. I’m taking my health by the hand and together, we are going to light up the world.

Brodee I’d be honored to share because yes, I do think my story and script flipping as you say, can inspire. Took a lot of courage to walk away from a 33-year marriage at age 62. Let me know how I can be part of your amazing project.

I’m sure it did! In fact, I know it did ;-)

If you want to have a look at the others in terms of word length and general “vibe” and give me a soundbite for the right hand side that would be amazing. Feel feee to message me or add it here. Whatever is easiest for you!

Thank you for including me in this project. It's inspiring to see other women to break free from societal expectations... Aging is another for living, that's it, and that's everything.

Wow! I returned from my 6-week pilgrimage - on the trail of the lost Sacred Feminine - only yesterday in a daze of jet lag.

This morning I wake to this!

What a delightful gift - feels like a postcard and winky face from Life Herself!

I am honored to be a part.

Huge bow to every woman featured here, Part One and Two - I clicked on every name to take a peek and got a spoonful of inspiration with every one.

Thank you!

In heart-full Sisterhood,

Patricia
