"Journeywell" gives no formula for growing old but provides a framework for you to figure out the best path for yourself-- summing it all up with "Wake up, show up, lighten up."
作者簡介
Trish grew up in Sioux City, Iowa, moved to Minnesota in 1955 to attend Carleton College and never left the state. She lives in the Minneapolis area with her husband of 51 years, raised four children, and now has eleven grandchildren. She became a licensed psychologist, received her PhD in her mid-fifties at Union Institute with a specialization in gerontology. She continues to be fascinated with people's stories, the many twists and turns that life brings, and how well we manage to muddle through our respective journeys. As a psychologist she worked with older adults and their families, facilitated caregiver, grief, and support groups, and now, semi-retired, does some volunteering, teaching, and counseling. Her first book, The Vintage Journey: A Guide to Artful Aging was published in 1995.Many of her pleasures revolve around water…swimming almost daily, sailing, canoe trips in the BWCA, and whitewater trips around the world. Carrying all those canoes took a toll on her knees and hips so now she is a titanium lady and does different kinds of adventuring. She has a goal to swim in every state and only has North Carolina and Oklahoma to go. She and her husband prospected for lake property shortly after marriage and proceeded to build a cabin that became a great gathering place for family and friends. She has facilitated 5-day women's retreats there for the last 25 summers. In the conclusion of this book she discusses the 3 Ups of Living Well (Wake Up, Show Up, and Lighten Up) and enjoys modeling these Ups.
