I’m fascinated to learn that the topic of “Wherever you go, there you are” is discussed in AA. That’s a theme in my life, even though I’ve never been one to have a drink (I have other problematic vices) so i loved reading about this perspective. Also, is that an Olivetti Lettera 32 typewriter??
What’s the Twain quote? Youth is wasted on the young? Alas, I am who I am…my personality is what it is, and my tolerance for risk (ie “adventure”) probably would be the same. Those tours, though. Colleges have upped their games since the 90s! I think you’re onto something here: a college experience for midlife women? Dorms, classes, clubs, study abroad…
I loved this article. You've come very far in your life and recovery ❤️🩹. I hope you feel proud of all you have accomplished. You can always create your own midlife study abroad and the AT is out there...you can do it too! 💪
Love the midlife study abroad idea. And the image of a guide leading a group through the campus representing opportunities they’ll have in the next stage of their lives? Priceless!
College visits always make me want to go back to school again
Me too! If only I could go back and do it all over again. Wait? Can I? :-)
At this point would love a good meal plan, no cooking, cleaning, shopping, sign me up.
Oh my God, that would be awesome!

I don't know!!! It's a screenshot from the Bob Dylan movie!
I only ask because it’s the exact same one I have haha!

OMG! YESSS! I've heard of a midlife gap year, but not a midlife study abroad program!!!
Loved this, Liz. And also the post you linked about the Jesuits :)

This one hit home. Midlife (or post-midlife 🙃) regret and nostalgia can be visceral. Thanks for offering hope, as always ❤️
