Now What? is a companion and a dare:
Keep telling the truth, keep choosing your life, and keep going!
Sandy Butler returns to Ashby Village to share reflections from her new book, Now What? Notes from the Front Lines of Old Age.
Butler writes the truth of old age exactly as she lives it: vividly, imperfectly, on her own terms. With candor, bite, and a generous dose of humor, she offers clear-eyed observations that refuse syrup and sentiment. Instead, they offer the relief of recognition - and the freedom that comes from naming what we're not supposed to say out loud.
She traces the realities of wrestling with balky knees and balkier institutions, forging late-life friendships, continuing resistance against fools and knaves, and the gratitude for each new morning and its unexpected gifts.
We look forward to welcoming Sandy back for a candid and engaging afternoon, exploring what it means to live with honesty and intention, and how we might each approach designing our own authentic lives as we grow older.
