We need more women like Heather on this planet. "Also, my new neighbor friend who’s 65 dyes her hair bright red and it feels a little bit like an announcement: HEY FUCK YOU. She’s not like that at all, but I could be." I can't love everything about her answers to this questionnaire enough.
Love this: "when women say “I feel invisible now,” I want to tell them, “If that bothers you, maybe try wearing something bright orange?” We’re all the authors of our own stories. A little self-delusion is good for you. For me, it’s all about combining pretty with ugly."
Great gobs of love to you Heather for all you’ve written so far and on and on into the future. Your answers here could/should become a manifesto. And yes, FUCK those milestones and bucket lists. And yes, early stage cancer treatment is so very interesting—meet Broccoli, my new best friend! Now, can I have the name of your therapist and share it with the world? More love to you and your attitude—signing off now as I get on with greeting the day.
Ahh, yes, so glad I discovered Oldster publication! I'm soon to be 61 and increasingly compelled to act on ______________. I've become more inwardly and outwardly radical concerning the B.S. I'll put up with in myself and others. Still carry around a bag of stinky regrets that I spent many many years ruminating on, but now, FINALLY/mostly, I've given myselft full permission to also enjoy my selection of other outrageous bags full of interesting "God Dams! I don't care and I'm going to do it adventures". Lately with music pumping, tyveck suited...tore down my basement ceiling insulation, now I'm almost done painting the ceiling white-- pipes and all to make the Art Studio I've been longing for , for decades! DON'T WAIT love to everyone here.
i'd give an expendable digit to eavesdrop on this woman and Joyce Wadler discussing ball-gowns.....or hell.... anything this interview plows thru brick walls
I value every day. I do what I want when I want to with whom I want. It matters, I'm still here, still standing. Still laughing - and at 69, it matters. I only have so many fucks left to give!!!!
Thank you Sari and Heather for this brilliant interview. Heather you were put on this planet to uplift humans, especially women, everywhere and we love you for it. Wishing you a big birthday celebration soon!

"Women improve by the hour." Yes to this! Also to dressing like Grover on meth. (I think you just defined my style, Heather.)
Heather is a gem. Really enjoyed this interview. Her line about taking each day as a gift is hilarious and spot on.
Well that’s about the best thing ever.
Brilliant!
YES.
I don't know if it's just because I'm turning 51 this year or not, but this made me happy.
I love you to pieces. And "we match" -- right down to the earlier-stage breast cancer. I'm 61 so ... most of what you said, 10 years onward.

Sari, you are on my fire with your guests. I love it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you, Emma!! (This one is from Feb., 2022, but somehow it’s back in circulation!)
I value every day. I do what I want when I want to with whom I want. It matters, I'm still here, still standing. Still laughing - and at 69, it matters. I only have so many fucks left to give!!!!
Thanks for this.....

I always got a little frisson when I saw Heather’s name because...well the because is obvious in this interview. ❤️
