One year ago, I was sitting in this house wondering what was next.
While spending a few days with my family at a friend's beach house, I was trying to figure a way out of a slump brought on by a little run-in with "ageism".
See the post on that event here: Doesn't Everyone Know 49 is the New 29?
I knew I had to find something to get excited about, for myself and my career, if I didn't want to buy into the message that my best days were behind me.
That is when the idea that led to the launch of House of Fifty began...
{three issues to date with another in the works}
One year later, I'm thrilled. It was been such a rewarding venture to work on and I am so thankful to all the people who have become part of this project, and to the reception it has received from you. I think it is very fitting the "anniversary" of the idea for House of Fifty falls on the week of Thanksgiving!

Here's to being thankful for all life brings to us.
