Aging with Style: At 85, Diana Eden Hopes to Inspire Women With New Memoir: “Getting Old and Other Indignities”

Congratulations to JourneyWoman writer Diana Eden on the launch of her new book today!

“Aging is something we cannot avoid,” Diana says. “While our bodies may start weakening or failing to work at peak performance, our minds can still be ever-curious. We can still travel and expand our understanding of this fascinating world. We are only invisible if we choose to be, and if we do so choose, that is okay too.”

Diana Eden Entertainment &Travel Author

At 85, passionate traveller Diana Eden's new memoir, "Getting Old and Other Indignities" shares the joy and freedom that comes with aging.
