Hi Sondra – agreed…that memo must be lost (on some male blowhard’s desk).

Great interview John and Wendy. There are certainly many, many silver linings for the 40+ woman. We’re seeing ourselves in a whole new light. Just waiting for society to get the memo. Thanks so much!
Diane and Cynthia – really enjoyed your additional insights and I appreciate you making the time to leave your comments! Wishing you many years of happiness and fullfillment…Wendy.

Wendy and John, I absolutely loved this interview. Your 40′s are such an interesting time and I agree with so many of Wendy’s points – “no handbook,” no easy description of us (not young, not old), a time of reassessment, etc. It is a time of vision, focus, and empowerment if we choose to take advantage of the opportunity. Wendy’s positive assessment is a tonic for the soul!
Wendy and John, thank you for tackling tough issues with honesty and humor. I believe life gets better after 40. I got married for the first time at 40. I conceived, without medical technology, and gave birth at age 42 and again at age 44 to two healthy daughters. I definitely agree that the 40s is a time of enlightment! By the way, on last month, my grandfather celebrated and danced at his 100th birthday party!
Wendy and John, Thank you for this most enlightening interview. I particularly enjoyed the characterization that you offered, Wendy, that women over 40 have arrived to a place (more or less) where we just don’t care what people might think of our decisions and actions. I know that is true for myself. I simply don’t ask others for their advice, oftentimes because I put a premium on taking care of me, and I know that many alpha-male types, put a premium on taking care of themselves, while I took primary care of the kids, the elders, and everyone else… but not me. That being so, I cannot fault anyone else for their choices. The best goal is to live without judgement of others, and to aim to communicate respect for all. Insofar as I can do that and live the life I was meant, then I am free.
