Summer recollections are so good for overcoming the so often bad memories that easily crop up in our brains to shame and blame us. I talk often in this podcast about learning to pivot from these natural negative thoughts, and summers past are a calming, pleasant place to start. Especially because you can almost feel the recollections, from slapping bare feet on concrete to the juicy taste of watermelon to the pop and shimmer of fireworks in the nighttime skies. The favorite episode that follows is no. 15 from my first weeks of podcasting last year. It made me think a lot about the joys of summer that begin in childhood and that we can recreate now and in any season of our best life yet.

You first heard or experienced the answers to these questions back in the day! And if you can still recall them you get an A-plus in mental flexibility, recall, and just the fun of knowing you can tap into your brain first for answers instead of high-tailing it over to Google while listening. See if a 30-something can do that, you magnificent midlifer!

“Fortune cookies are a good idea,” said singer/songwriter Lisa Loeb. “If the message is positive, sharing it will put the recipient in a good mood. If it’s negative they’ll eat the cookie and forget it.” In today’s episode, less is more!

You’ve seen a lot of changes in the name of progress, such as email and overnight shipping stamping out – so to speak – traditional mail use and delivery. Then there’s Uber and Lyft overtaking taxis and limos while offering new inclusive employment opportunities. How about air b and b’s, or food and grocery delivery at the stroke of a few keyboard strokes. Texting … TikTok … FaceTime and Facebook … Indeed and LinkedIn apps and online communities vs. pounding the pavement with printed resumes and frequent job fairs. And then there’s the newspaper – once such an entrenched must-read that several cities had more than one attention-grabbing edition every day. And amid all that, well, what about books? Did you feel a visceral response at that question? “Not my books, too!” I would cry.

Well, it turns out we baby boomers hold the tradition of reading so dear that in a world of so many new choices with e-books and audio books, research and the numbers show we are reading more printed books than ever. And we know stories often feature heroes undergoing transformational change by the last chapters. That’s what life change is all about, of course. Today I have the privilege of sharing journeys of beloved reading by women at midlife, beyond and before. They make me smile, and I bet you will too.
