"Julia Cameron has inspired millions with her bestseller The Artist's Way. Now at the age of sixty-five, she shows her contemporaries how retirement can be the most creative and fulfilling stage of life yet. For some, retirement is a day to work toward with anticipation. Others approach retirement with greater ambivalence. While the newfound freedom is exciting and filled with possibility, the idea of retirement can also be very daunting. You are in a unique position to explore yourself and your desires from a place of experience. But the line has been drawn in the sand: The life that you have known has changed, and the life to come is yet to be defined. This book is a twelve-week course aimed at defining--and creating--the life you want to have as you redefine--and re-create--yourself. Filled with essays, tools, and exercises to be done alone or in groups, this toolkit will guide and inspire retirees wishing to expand their creativity. This fun, gentle, step-by-step process will help you explore your creative dreams, wishes, and desires--and quickly find that it's never too late to begin anything"--

Did Julia Cameron write this book just for me? I think she did.
Look at the title. Here I am, at midlife (well, I suppose I'm really at the beyond part). And here I am, discovering creativity. And meaning.
The book is full of stories of other people who are also at midlife (and beyond) who resisted but are now discovering their own creativity and meaning. It's quite inspiring and even (dare I say it?) helpful.
Off to do a bit more discovery. Thank you, Julia Cameron.
