Happy birthday Parker. We met here in Anchorage many years ago. Your Growing Edge Newsletter and the collaboration of Carrie Newcomer continue to make a difference in my life. I believe I am a better person for your influence. Thank you! 🎉

I am six months ahead of you in arriving at the BIG 8-5. I can’t say “You’re Gonna Love It.” 🤪. Most of my landmarks - my husband, old friends, old creative connections - are gone and I am learning what it is to be lonely, even as I continue to value solitude. I recognize this old age passage as a powerful period of spiritual awareness and evolution, but it’s also a time of diminishing autonomy and increased dependence on others, especially children and grandchildren.

Your wisdom and candor have been a gift to me. May we very old folks continue to speak our truth and reveal our wounds until the very end. ☺️. BIRTHDAY BLESSINGS…. Nancy Wilson

So glad to know you’re another ‘39er…like me…you just finish your 85th year about 4 months before me. I’m surely glad you were born…and have written so wisely & compassionately about your life experience gleanings! I’m giving thanks for letting your life speak of your values!
