I am evaluating scenarios and options to escape and surrender to him to surrender to his power and magic to get rid of tensions and recharge my vitality, inspiration, depth, and sense of belonging with my master Nature.

After I turned 60, I started asking myself many, many questions. I had been attending many others since I was 49 (which is a portal age of septenary in women). So I continued, and I am still very committed to answering them and finding/living a new meaning in my life.

I am glad of these winds that blow over me… let them not stop, let it be so!

I know very well the waters (adverse situations) in which I have walked... that's why I'm glad to feel new beginnings in my walk, to feel that inner movement that has guided my steps to let go and travel lighter and more to the rhythm of my soul, to attend to what I have reread in my treasured notebooks and that I have postponed so many times for so many ...“I have to”...

One of the things I have been most committed to is studying, reading, and looking for references of inspiring adult women, who continue to fulfill their life mission, women full of life, light, hope, a lot of brightness in their eyes, and a cheerful smile on their face. That they have been "vaccinated” against bitterness, resentment, and the hardships of life, and they have shed the social design and stigmas that this society imposes on old age.

Projecting my next five (5) years, I think I have a lot of places to travel to, to go to...

Living with my husband in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, near the airport, maybe managing Airbnb apartments. To receive my friends and family who have the pleasure of visiting me, and that my daughters visit me every year. Study, and continue exercising in order to ensure our physical and mental health, to be functional enough to maintain the cognitive state necessary to adapt to the evolution of time and the passage of time.

Also, already I have several destinations pointed out, where I see myself doing a time of retreat, a period of physical, psychological, and emotional detox in a place where I see myself beside the sea, the mountain, the sun, the wind, the good company always with my husband and good friends. A time to stop, listen and attend to me... for now I am open to receiving whatever life presents me.

I am about to create a project in alliance with a group of retirees or people in the process of transitioning to the status of (retirees) who can unite their experiences, skills, and also dreams to work together in a self-sustainable community. It is a committed work in favor of aging with dignity, trying to preserve my well-being integrity, to re-signify the total beauty of adult women like me.

I envision my self-sustainable community in a place with a cool climate, with land to plant and sources of energy and water, doing some craft activities such as caring for a hydroponic crop I see myself working in the community and producing. Not like a piece of something that has an expiration date. I look healthy and more experienced. I think that happiness and fulfillment can be experienced in simple but very significant experiences by enlarging, and making what already exists grow.

By the way, I know that self-sufficiency will not be easy to manage the financial and economic structure of this project; and that it is alien (to say the least) to the market and economic reality of the country where I live.

Likewise, I am rethinking opening myself to a world without labels, a world with unlimited possibilities of new experiences, and new challenges, Life is beautiful like the sea. We just have to learn to jump the waves so that synchronicity comes into our lives, it's magical... for now, I'm doing what I can from home.
