Women Rowing North: Navigating Lifes Currents and Flourishing As We Age | 
pickI have no idea how I managed to pick up this book but boy am I glad I did! This isn‘t a difficult read. It‘s chock full of wisdom collected from personal stories, stories shared by friends and clients, and through her copious encounters with books. We are all blessed by older women in our lives. Reading this helped me appreciate that even more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI am enjoying this book written by the author of Reviving Ophelia. This one explains aging and how older women fit into their own lives, communities, and the world.
pickThis is one of those books that will speak to you only if you‘re in the right place. I felt like a guest at a gathering where I was slightly out of place - this isn‘t my time for this book, but I welcomed being surrounded by the stories of these women. Pipher writes tenderly and with open eyes about aging and its blessings and challenges.
Up next! I love Mary Pipher and my library hold finally came in!!
1/~15 pictures of inside the Amazon store! A lot of people have asked what it‘s like inside one, so why not show instead of tell. 😁👍🏻👍🏻
One thing that they do better than any other bookstore I‘ve been in (I heard Powell‘s is similar—can‘t wait to visit Powell‘s someday!) is displays. As you know, I love displays 😆. Amazon is awesome at it!
I‘m all in for a “boomer bible.” I never saw myself growing old, but here I am. I was delighted to see that my small local library owns this and I‘ll patiently wait for the book to be returned to the library by some other older woman. 😂😂
pickI can‘t write a review precious enough to capture what this book has done for me. Although an avid reader, few books have touched me emotionally like this one has. Mary Pipher has been like a dear sister having a sacred conversation with me. She really, really understands this 64 yr old woman, as I truly understand her, especially since we are both psychologists “Let us embrace everything...as we navigate this last stretch of the river”⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In this life stage, what saves most of us is love.
Yep, pretty much...carrying the book and journal around in my car.
