SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS

Have I Lived My Life
to the Fullest?
Now that many of us are in our seventies and eighties, TTNer
Lyn Richards
is interested in exploring with other TTN members
how this question personally affects them, as well as how you are addressing this issue.
I'm envisioning a leaderless small group, taking place in the East Bay, for as much time as participants want to delve into the topic. I see this as a small discussion group, closed to new members once we start going. It would take place on a weeknight evening, in rotating participants' homes.
Please respond to Lynn Richards,
[email protected] by March 15, if you are interested, and let her know what you think of the whole idea.

This is a chance to take inventory of where you are in your life and whether there may be any gaps in realizing fulfillment and meaning in this second half of our lives. As a group we discuss what matters most to us, how we want to be and feel and whether we are on track to accomplish our goals and dreams. If not now, when?
It is always great to have returning Salon participants join us for another round. So, you are very welcome.

The Best Tool to Fight Ageism
Are you returning to the workforce after years away or making a mid-to-late career transition? Then I'm guessing
ageism
is a b
ig concern. Of all the tools available to beat ageism, there is none more powerful than subject matter expertise. I consider it the antidote to ageism. When you're a subject matter expert, your
expertise
is the focus, not your
age.
