I’m happy you found me. In early 2020, the Co-vid lockdown, and turning 80, all seemed to diminish my desire to pursue my very small coaching practice, or commit to offering a regular blog. With peace and solitude, I turned my attention to end-of-life planning.
I feel like a solo-ager, with no children and a scattered family. The lockdown provided lots of alone time to write an autobiography for the Johnson Family Archives, and create a video about my most professionally satisfying years. After all, someone in the future may want to know “Who Was Aunt Martha, Anyway?” And, I edited and republished my books, available on Amazon.
Truthfully, I am slowing down. But, I will admit to a continuing temptation to support, and learn from, the healthy, high performers of any age who find themselves temporarily stuck with important next stage life questions. The listening ears of an elder are what I love to offer to whomever might seek me out. I am convinced that at whatever age, we are challenged to be who we really are, and to do more of what we really love. There is no time like the present to access one’s courage to do so.
My website, meetmarthajohnson.com, will remain up for however long. Locally, I enjoy giving occasional readings of my MUSINGS and encouraging folks to write through their feelings about their own life transitions. More importantly, our reflections, mine and yours, may inspire the very conversations we all need to be having about meaning, purpose, learning and growth at any age.
The easiest way to reach me is by email at mjggdi@comcast.net and I would enjoy hearing from you.
