Mirror Synchronicity: 91 is the Age of Fun

My first exposure to the age of 91 being a time of adventure was when we took a hospice patient, Joan skiing. It was featured in The Columbus Dispatch

Then today I saw a (sad) article about a 91 year old who plowed into a cafe (not fun)

But then in looking for that article by the age (because I thought it would be easy to narrow down), I kept finding articles about women living it up at the age of 91.

First I found the 91 year old skydiver, and then the 91 year old actor, and then the 91 year old yoga instructor.

And that is when I recognized the synchronicity and thought...

Is 91 the magic age for adventure?

Mirror Synchronicity: Inspiring woman...


This past Friday I had an amazing day helping to make a 91 year old hospice patient's wish come true. She wanted to ski one last time. It was nothing short of a miracle how everything and everyone came together to make it happen and it couldn't have gone smoother.

Today, I was at Costco picking up my pictures and I was so excited about them and the clerk couldn't care less.

I turned to the couple next to me and showed them the picture and said, "Can you believe this woman is 91 years old?!" The woman replied, "Wait, what's her name? There can't be two 91 year old women that went skiing."
I told her the woman's name was Joan and she told me that her son is married to the daughter of Joan's cousin Cher who had gone on the trip with us. They had heard the whole story last night at dinner!
