Hello, I’m Martha Johnson.

And I’m getting older…as are we all.

Moving into my eighth decade has been a major transition resulting in new perspectives and the design of new habits. I am faced with larger questions like:  “What are my remaining years demanding of me?”  “How can I give myself permission to continue to be true to myself?” “What legacy might I leave behind?” “How can I ensure a ‘good dying’ that does not leave a mess for my family?”  

What questions surface for you at this stage of your life?

Although I am formally “retired’, my awareness of the challenges of aging is now front and center.  Inviting forward both clarity and courage during times when life losses are being grieved and new callings entertained, is what I care about.

And so, I read, reflect, write, and facilitate conversations in a variety of ways. Whether you are 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90, my hope is that occasionally visiting these pages will encourage you to engage thoughtfully with the questions that your life is presenting to you.
