Former Seattle Times Columnist Launches New Blog on Changing Aging

The movement of the Age Wave continues to bring new perspectives, new ideas and new careers:

Former Seattle Times columnist Liz Taylor and partners have launched a blog: agingwellconsortium.com.  From 1994 – 2008, she wrote an enormously popular weekly column on aging in The Seattle Times that attracted thousands of readers regionally and nationally.  Deploring the outdated ways in which much of the business of aging is carried out today, especially by government and eldercare providers, Liz calls for a wholesale change in their missions, values, and attitudes.

Liz describes the Aging Well Consortium this way:

The Aging Well Consortium brings together professionals, citizens and experts from a broad range of disciplines and experiences to inform and make life better for all of us as we age.

We believe personal accountability and planning is key to having some control over what happens to us as we grow older. Nothing can stop us from getting old — except death. When people embrace their aging rather than deny it, they begin to age “deliberately,” taking purposeful steps that will allow them to age as gracefully and with as much dignity as possible.
