Live, Connect and Thrive

We know that a sense of community can provide a great source of connection and love for many but especially seniors living alone or in care. This feeling of community can come in many forms and we were especially inspired this month by Collective Wisdom, a fabulous new book by Grace Bonney which creates a living, breathing sense of community through the powerful words of wisdom from over 100 trailblazing women.

The rich and multi-layered collection of interviews, conversations, and intimate photographs covers ground-breaking women who describe the ups, downs, and lessons learned while forging their unique paths. Collective Wisdom celebrates the stories of those who have been there and know the road from an Olympic athlete and a NASA team member to award-winning artists, activists, writers, and filmmakers, from women in their fifties to centenarians. It is also a tribute to the importance of intergenerational connections between women, with interviews conducted by daughters, friends, mentors, and colleagues. 
 
A fantastic read and one to add to the Christmas list!
