I think I’ve been doing this without realizing it. Things I’ve tried since hitting 50: Took up weightlifting & entered powerlifting contest. Went to sailing academy, learned how to sail, entered a Regatta & won. Became fitness model for Golds Gym. Started a production company & bought a franchisor (so own 2 businesses now). Left the U.S. for the first time (Sweden, Norway, Denmark). Hiked part of the AT. Tried veganism. On my way to 2 day music festival in WI tomorrow (first music fest). Love the idea!!!!!

This is amazing, Nancy! I want to hear more about all these experiments and adventures - we might have to try and convince to write a guest post here! :-)
