If you’re like most of us, by the time you reach “the second half” of your life, you may be thinking about- or re-thinking about- how you want the years ahead to unfold. For some of us, it’s a second- or even third or fourth- career. For others of us, it’s determining what we can do to make life more meaningful or purposeful. A recent piece in Axios discusses the challenges we’ll face as a society when many will live to be over 100 years old; we’ll need to acquire skills and education to prepare for what will likely be many professions over the course of multiple decades. As Professor David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School stated, “The arc of our lives must be re-examined.”

To help you think through these sorts of challenges, there’s a new resource: Next For Me is a website that plans to connect and inspire you through its newsletter, blog posts, and in-person salon meet-ups, so that you can be a part of these personal and community conversations about how to shape and mold the post-50 life. And if you’re looking for an inspirational story you may want to read about Ohio resident Rosemarie Krizmanich who, after careers in journalism, health care, and gardening, decided at the age of 61 to learn to code and now has a career in IT systems analysis. Whether for financial reasons or personal growth, many of us are going to need to have these conversations in the coming years- better to embrace them than to avoid them.
