The pith of this for me is to engage where you are- the community you already have. And make it fun, make it social. Love those pieces! Happy 50th to your husband. I just turned 49 myself!

Thank you so much, Anna. My Buddhist friend and coauthor Jody said she’d read something helpful when I was down and forwarded this column. It’s wonderful! But FIFTY? Incredible. Happy birthday to your husband and joy to you both. It’s a practice. Also inspired by you, I sent another small donation to the progressives conducting town halls. Also

volunteered for mayoral phone banking. Joy and fight.

I love this approach to a milestone birthday party! I might just steal it for my 45th :)

How can that be? Adam is 50!

You are a star. I would love to meet your daughters!

Sending love. Carolyn Bennett
