A Personal Note
I’m happy you found me. In early 2020, the Co-vid, repeating lockdowns, and turning 80, all seemed to diminish my ability to maintain my small professional coaching practice and my bi-monthly newsletter. With peace and solitude, I turned my attention to end-of-life planning. I created a written autobiography for the Johnson Family Archives and 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 my books: Why Not Do What You Love has a new cover, and updates after 15 years. The set of Musings has new covers and a new forward. All are 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 life stage questions. My listening ears and elder life perspective are what I love to offer to whomever might seek me out. At whatever age, you can be who you really are, and do more of what you love. There is no time like the present to access your courage to do so.
This website, meetmarthajohnson.com, will remain up for however long. I will continue to post “musings” only as inspired. I give occasional readings of the MUSINGS and encourage folks to write through their feeling about their life transitions, as I did in desperation from 2000 – 2008. More importantly, the poems may inspire the very conversations we all need to be having about meaning, purpose, learning and growth at any age.
In the meantime, do your best at being you,
Martha
