The price, the source, the content, the format. Few things in life are so ridiculously underpriced and carry such a gentle and generous catalytic significance. Mid Life Celebration, the book, is one of them.
And few people will risk the misinterpretation of their boldness.

Seriously, we either say, “Hell yeah”, or we say no.
Insight: In the crazy, busy, stressful days before Christmas, a significant phenomenon occurs mostly unnoticed, marking the passage of time and the beginning of Winter. Time waits for no one. We know this, but we rarely behave like we do.
Two things Winter Solstice and April Fool’s Day have in common:

Many of us aspire to be writers.
What holds most of us back is believing we have to conform to historical norms. Follow the recipe.
Tomorrow, April Fool’s Day (or is it December 22?), a Baby Boomer Fool began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs in a 100-day challenge to leave a trail for his young son (then 8).
If you want to be a writer, then write, uninhibited. And without fear.
