Stories of the Month
This month, we read stories that traveled through all walks of life. From grandparents to grandchildren, from young women to women beginning again at age 60, all the way to what it means to be in the here and now.
Let’s celebrate these great contributions:

- Does Life Really Begin at 60? A 7 step challenge to starting your third act now. by Maria Reitan
- A Pillar of Wisdom and Hope: My 93-year-old grandmother’s legacy. by Athena Milios
Conversations Series Contributions
We also received one more contribution to our Conversations series, where we recall dialogues that bridge intergenerational voices and perspectives. This is an ongoing series, so if you have a story to share, we would love to hear your dialogues!
Texting as a Bond Between the Generations: Love the “Hi Grandma” texts. by Linda C Smith
The First Monthly Prompt
This month, we also launched our first-ever monthly prompt, which involved the theme of weddings and marriage.
Stay tuned for the next monthly prompt for July, and for the announcement of the winner of June’s prompt!
I would like to give a special thank you to Sajjad Choudhury and Donna Brown for participating in this challenge.
