A LEGACY OF LOVE

Today is International Women's Day and the 2018 theme is Press for Progress. Activist Gloria Steinem once said,

"The story of women's struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights."

And we at Growing Bolder agree! Part of Rebranding Aging® is shining the spotlight on women of all ages who are inspiring and influencing everyone around them to believe that they can be, do and achieve anything.

A great example is Kay Castle-Brinker.

Kay believes that grandmothers have the power and the obligation to help leave a legacy of peace, acceptance and compassion.

That led her to creating The Granny P.A.C.™, a Granny-selected combination of children's books with positive messages of kindness and acceptance, wrapped in a handmade "pac."

INSPIRATION IS EVERYWHERE:

Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn is a Nobel Prize–winning molecular biologist and president of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. We've interviewed and featured Dr. Blackburn previously on Growing Bolder and it was great to catch up with her at the 2018 Lake Nona Impact Forum (learn more here). Her research on telomeres, the caps on the end of our DNA strands, proves that lifestyle choices play central roles in how we age. Plus:

Dorothy Johnson was one of the first African-American women to serve overseas in the U.S. Armed Forces and as she told us on her 100th birthday, believed in the power of Move Forward. Give Back.®.

Betty Wall was one of a handful of female pilots in World War II. She shared what she learned by smashing stereotypes and offered tips for women still struggling for equality in all walks of life.

Ruth Hamilton was one of the first women to host a radio show and was also the first woman elected to the Legislature from New Hampshire. Then, at 109 years old, she became the world's oldest blogger.
