The Roots

The seed for The Hello 70 Project was planted shortly after I celebrated my 69th birthday.  I was home with bronchitis feeling pretty punk when I realized that I probably had fewer years left to live than I had already lived.  It gave me pause.  Where had the time gone and what did I have to show for it?  More importantly, what was I going to do to make the rest of my years memorable for myself and others?

​

I decided to embrace turning 70 and came up with a list of things I loved or wanted to do or places to go or things I wanted to learn.  I was already feeling a positive vibe coming from 2020 and, in fact, the whole decade so I set my bar high and decided to do 70 of each of the items on my list.  Good luck to me!

​

This blog will chronicle my journey over the next year.  My goal is to post 70 times.  Sometimes I’ll give an update, sometimes I may just post a quote that spoke to me.  Nothing will be perfect but it will be fun and I hope it might inspire you to look at your life to see how you can make it more memorable and interesting for you and yours. 

​

Be kind. Stay curious.
