Welcome
I started communicating with other older women in 2013 after an incident at my favorite coffee house validated my achievement of a special designation in American society: invisibility. I didn’t like it one bit, so on February 13, 2013, I published my first blog about that experience.
The Day I Knew I Had Become Invisible
Here is an excerpt of that day
But, it was a landmark day. I realized that on Monday, I had lost my professional, sexual, maternal, and marital status in the eyes of most of our society. I was just another invisible older woman not of any value except, perhaps, to the medical, pharmaceutical, and assisted-living sectors of our US economy.
Please note: I do not receive any compensation for my efforts, and there are no links to anyone or any company profiting from my writing. I do this entirely as a volunteer, aiming to enhance the lives of older women by advocating for them.
I publish a monthly eNewsletter, with information and suggestions about life as an older woman with a link to a blog offering a nutritious recipe for one or two people, fashion tips appropriate to us — not our daughters or granddaughters, and a variety of subjects. Please sign up at the link above.
Since starting this website, I have published almost 150 blogs and written three psychological thrillers featuring two detectives, retired women (one drives a hot red car), and a retirement planning book specific for women.

Since I could not find a retirement planning book specific for women, I published Paths – A Primer for Ladies of a Certain Age: A Workbook for the Road Ahead, which details retirement planning from a female perspective.
Thank you for reading my books; I genuinely appreciate it. If you have any questions about me, my books, or my advocacy for ladies of a certain age, please email me at blog@ladiesofacertainage.com

Oh, by the way, I am indebted to the friendship of Dolly, my dog (also known as Tobin in a particular book), and Katie, my Tuxedo cat (AKA Sweetie Pie), to the memory of my Airedale Terrier, Bonnie Buttercup, Joyce Cerretti, who has helped in so many ways, friends and my family.
