July is about FREEDOM - to be you, to journey through this part of your life fully present with your friends and family with great joy!
 WHO SAYS AGING IS NOT EXCITING???

Not me!! I just had cataract surgery done on my eyes and I cannot believe the world that has opened up to me! I have not had this kind of vision for 20 years! 

I see my gray hair which is WHITE! Now, of course, I knew my hair was white but not this white! It is startling! And, I see age spots on my hands that I did not know I had! The whole world is so bright. It is like I have been reborn!

I do not have to wear my glasses anymore! What a relief! This is the first day I have experienced this and my heart is pounding - the geraniums are bright red and I thought they were more pink, and I see more wrinkles than I saw before (all over my body) but, who cares??

Life is good and I am so grateful! This is wonderful - a whole new world for me at the ripe old age of 79!!

We can find happiness in aging in many ways!!

CITIES WITH THE MOST WORKING SENIORS

As the retirement age slowly creeps up, it might not be surprising to know that many seniors are working longer. This could be due to several reasons such as financial reasons, or simply wanting to continue working out of enjoyment. Regardless of the reason, it’s clear that a large number of seniors are still working in cities throughout the country. Our list of the top 25 cities shows that at least 20% or more of the senior population is still in the workforce within those cities.

18% of baby boomers and Gen Xers plan to work past age 74. Why you should do the same
Many Americans dream of  retiring early  and enjoying the laid-back, carefree lifestyle that often comes with it.
But not everyone wants to escape the workforce as soon as possible. Some enjoy having the sense of purpose that working brings, others simply need to save more money before embarking on retirement. In fact, 18% of both baby boomers and Gen Xers expect to work past age 74, according to Northwestern Mutual's  2019 Planning & Progress Study .

Editor Note:
Aging But Dangerous is seeking ways we can support this population. We have a lot of followers in TX, TN, NY and NC. Our goal is to support women in healthy aging and living with enjoyment, attitude and being their authentic selves. To be of service, we are launching a Chapter Program where women can create local chapters to encourage and affirm women in these areas - consider becoming a Community Ambassador and leading a Chapter.
How Are YOU Spending The Lazy Days of Summer?
SkyDiving On Your Bucket List?

Lots of women are interested in skydiving and Aging But Dangerous is an active promoter of this behavior. Our annual MartiniJumpSkydive has attracted women from around the nation. It is a great way of "pushing one's limits" (also known as jumping out of a plane) to experiencing a "free fall" strapped safely to your cute tandem jumper to an "easy landing" where you sit on the ground with your feet above your waist. Of course, the Martini arrives after you jump!

This year's jump is scheduled for September 14th. Consider joining several friends - fly into MSP, stay near the Mall of America and join us in jumping - weather permitting.

Launching ABD Chapters

With the goal of supporting women across the world, Jean Ketcham, CEO and Co-Founder, is interested in having Aging But Dangerous Chapters around the world.

Jean sees a Chapter's primary mission is to create an inspiring, uplifting and nurturing environment where 50+ women are presented with exciting new ideas and strategies to help them live more fulfilling and adventurous lifestyles. She believes members will connect with and establish friendships with other ABD members.

Chapters will be lead by an ABD Community Ambassador whose primary job will be to develop the chapter and invite women to join.
Today, we have interest in Mexico, New Jersey, Texas and MN!

Interested in starting a local chapter? Send us an email telling us where you are and more about yourself. We would love to connect!
One Gal's Story

A friend called and said she thought I should attend a Women's Network Meeting.
I thought it would be a typical women's group, talking about our businesses and passing business cards.
WOW, what a surprise! This group is about sharing experiences, learning from each other, having fun and keeping your bucket list full.  I became a member that day.
Incredible information is shared on the website and facebook.  
Aging But Dangerous and Owning Your Power.  THAT GOT MY ATTENTION.
