Introduction

“The Age of Aging…Its Passions and Possibilities” is a non-fiction collection of experiences, stories, and essays chronicling my 87 years of life experiences and the values that I discovered to be crucial to healthy aging. The book is organized in seven chapters of life lessons written over nine years and published as a monthly column by Montana Woman Magazine. Over the years, I explored how the values of love, connection, health, spirituality, integrity, compassion, and forgiveness influence my later years. I intend to defy the theory that growing old is a downward slide and assert that aging is not a disease but a process that requires us to recognize that we are living longer and stronger—nearly 30 years longer than our ancestor. These additional years can be used to expand our health, creativity, personality, relationships, and more.
Each section ends with an opportunity for the reader to journal her responses to the material. I ask What If? these were your stories? Would you respond differently? Take a different path?
My intention is that “The Age of Aging” is helpful, thought provoking, entertaining, and inspiring to readers as we face the fear and negative attitudes about aging that are so prevalent in our culture.
Creating ourselves as wise elders is the challenge of our later years. I offer my experiences as an invitation to make the most of them.

We are the carriers of the culture.
We need to become the elders of the tribe

Best thoughts and blessings, Ina

Crones Council of the Flathead
By Ina Albert

We sit in council, searching backward to find the roots of our being; looking deep into the core of what brought us to this time of aging. We are healthy and handsome and humbled by time.

Together, we stare at old photos, trusting we will find threads that will answer the questions that remain. Splinters need pulling to expose raw truths.

We tell our stories, harvest their meaning one by one to make sense of our years, weaving substance to create a tapestry of each life.

Ours council is a secret confessional. A sharing beyond sharing. Beyond shame or guilt. Where souls are bared and tears are the currency of trade. Not a place for cowards.

A time to harvest our lives—to peer through the lens of old age— to choose our most valued keepsakes for our heritage chest. Only our most sacred memories and nubs of wisdom dwell there.

We are strong now. Full of energy honed with years of caring for our bodies. Yet we see skin sagging over muscles, hair turning ashen.

We chart each sign of aging: memory loss, fatigue, the wear and tear that scrolls its record in the furrows on our faces.

We are more careful now. Careful of our bodies, our money, our relationships. Careful with our children. Too soon we will be their children, trusting that they will be careful mothers and fathers.

Then it will be time to open our treasure chests and offer our precious inheritance, hoping that the gold of our lives will be their treasure.

I haven't entered a message on this page in ages, but things are about to change. We are all experiencing transitions in our lives -- isolation, depression, cancelled plans, financial problems and are just some negatives. There are positives: feeling quiet, being able to rethink our future goals, becoming more creative, valuing our relationships more deeply, appreciating the time we spend in nature - getting out of the house. Zoom and Skype and Facetime have been life savers.

My question is: What have you learned from Covid? What changes will you make in your life when this is over? How do you feel differently about yourself and your loved ones?

Love to hear your responses! Write soon.

As We Are Inspired, So We Inspire Others.....

As we grow older, an urgency to succeed in the world shifts to mastering ourselves, fulfilling our dreams and leaving a legacy of wisdom gleaned from our life experience.

Elders are pioneers at the leading edge of human evolution.
We are the role models for future generations.

What are we waiting for?

Our second adulthood begins at 50 and can last 30 plus years or more!
It is the longest stage of our lives.

How are we going to spend it?

Contemplation, meditation, life review and prayer - moving from Age-ing to Sage-ing® - are the best tools to gain lifelong perspectives.

What future will we create?

It's my passion as a Certified Seminar Leader and Lifestyle Transition Coach to help you use these tools and guide you through the decades to stand in your own power!
