Below is a 3:50 minute clip from Ximena Abogabir, a Chilean who started Travesia 100 (Journey to 100) organization to shift myths about aging. At 70, and working all her life, she started seeing how being old and a woman became a double discrimination for her and others.
As Ximena delved deeper, she believed as we age our wisdom has value and can be elevated to the “Silver Economy” of workers and mentors. Most cultures put aging into a linear line, and once we reach 65 or beyond, the myth becomes we are less productive and valuable. What really happens is our value shifts to sharing our energy, time and earned wisdom with others in ways that elevate us all. What a lovely way to move forward into our new year!
Ximena is now 76 and her organization has 4000 volunteers. She definitely is part of Aging Deliciously. Take a look.

Thanks Anne!
I will give it a watch later. There is definitely stronger discrimination against women as we age than men experience. The extra layers of being a single woman or a woman living in poverty or a woman of colour, gay etc all make it worse. Older women are so cool and wise. I love my aged friends. Too bad more cultures don’t value elders.
Very positive Sis, Thank you! Scott
