The Relevance of Celebrating Birthdays and Anniversaries … Now More than Ever

As I reach the important milestone of turning 70 years old, I can’t help thinking how shorter the path is in front of me as I pause and reflect on what will truly make me happy and purposeful.

Downsizing in Your 70s Without Becoming a Minimalist
