Sharing insights from the lives of five people—her own included—as well as Jungian psychology, contemplative theology, and more, 91-year-old Connie Reemtsma challenges us to see aging not as a decline to be mourned but as a time of fulfillment and an opportunity for growth. In so doing, she beckons us to shed our ego-driven selves and discover our true core.</span></div><div><br></div><div>As we create our last decades "as a time of fulfillment and an opportunity for growth”, we will resonate with her words. </div><div><br></div><div>Peace,</div><div><br></div><div>Karen Snyder Troxel</div><div>on behalf of the Global Archives Team</div><div><br></div><div>PS.
