Who is a Solo Ager?
An aging adult 55+ who, because of choice or circumstance,
is without the support of adult children or close family members.

Dear Subscriber First Name,

Welcome to the July/August issue of Navigating Solo News, the Navigating Solo Network’s monthly newsletter. While we shared our inaugural issue with a wide audience, our monthly newsletter is only being sent to those who have subscribed to our mailing list. If you know someone who would be interested in the resources in the newsletter, forward this along. Anyone can subscribe to the Navigating Solo News by signing up here!

This month’s issue provides details about our brand new Empowered Solo Membership, highlights solo aging in the arts and offers links to recent talks and articles relevant to solo agers. I am also proud to share a link to my article “The Impact of Third Places for Solo Agers” published by Next Avenue 2 weeks ago. There are also useful resources on exploring housing and articles about specific aspects of solo aging too.

NavigatingSolo.com was created to be a clearinghouse for reliable information and resources for solo agers. In time, we will be expanding our offerings to include a business directory of professionals who work with solos, solo ager profiles, a Navigating Solo Workbook (September 2022) and more!

Please visit the Navigating Solo Network website and view the various existing resources and events. Share this newsletter and website with others!

As you know, I am passionate about meeting the unique needs of solos agers and enhancing the resources available for those navigating solo!

It is my hope that this national website and network will continue to grow, include the voices of many solo aging advocates, share individual stories of those navigating solo, connect solos to each other, and offer ideas and solutions for the many aspects of a compiling and implementing a navigating solo plan!

Take a look around the site and you will see how the path to dynamic solo aging starts here!™
