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.

 

OOPS! Many of the links in the December 7, 2022 mailing were broken!

Dear Subscriber First Name,

Welcome to the December issue of
Navigating Solo News, the Navigating Solo Network’s monthly newsletter.

Wow, what a year it has been! Visibility has really increased regarding the unique needs of navigating aging solo since the site was launched.

NavigatingSolo.com was created in October 2021 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 & stories, a Navigating Solo Workbook 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!™
