In all these good stories, I keep seeing the theme of CHANGE and how we deal with that regardless of age or condition. My position for years has been and still is, change is inevitable, plan carefully. There are two kinds of change, planned and unplanned. In both instances, we may need to adapt and adjust, recalibrate and keep moving forward. Thanks for sharing more ways to cope!
"Age has taken away certainty. The older I get, the more I know that I don’t know anything at all." Yes! What a great quote and lovely, thoughtful interview.
I’m so glad to read this update about Eva. She meant so much to me and my family 23 years ago, in the awful year of 9/11. She was a gifted teacher and artist then too and look at all the art and community she’s made and shared since! I’m sure there are so many people just like me out there, so grateful for her presence in their lives. Thank you for this— ❤️
Vicky -- it's so nice to see you here! After reading this comment, I told Julie about my special relationship and time with Amanda. I would love to know how you are all doing! xoxo
I really enjoyed this interview! Many points I identify with, for better (the Big Wheel memories) and worse (the horrors of facial magnification). My favorite statement is the one about becoming confident in your ability to care of yourself. What an essential truth. Thanks to both of you for this conversation.

Great interview! Wishing Eva and Julie all the best.

Thank you!
Bingo! "What's surprising about being my age is being my age. Even though we are all aging every day, it feels so unexpected and unbelievable."
Your self-awareness and resilience, coupled with your gift for nurturing others, are ongoing gifts to the community.
Thank you, Jay!

The more I know, the more I know I don't know! Laugh as much as you can.

Would love to catch up! I’ll DM for your email maybe. Actually living with AJ now so I’ll put them in touch with you. Congrats on this piece!
“ Now, I trust that people will always be exactly who they are and I trust I will take care of myself in their presence, no matter what.”
WOW This is a rock solid truth followed by an empowering manifesto. I take inspiration and direction from this.
Sari sure knows some amazing people. Thank you ALL.
Thank you, Ali. <3

Very poignant! And can I say how much I love the cute faux-throuple pic with Sari (with long curly hair!).
It’s a favorite photo of mine, on display in my office.
Brilliant, honest, inspiring! My love to Julie! Thank you!
