Sizzling After 60: Excellence Has No Expiration Date

Hi everyone! It has been awhile since we connected at “Sizzling After 60.”  The world certainly has changed. We are living and loving differently. The pandemic of COVID-19 has forced us to look at life and all that we bring to it, and what it brings to us in ways we could not have imagined. Many of us have tragically lost loved ones. For thousands, the world has simply turned upside down.

And yet, this is also a time where we have been forced to prioritize how we use our time.

I took a break from SA60 given a heavy schedule of teaching and consulting. Teaching marketing to both undergrad and graduate business school students at Loyola University was tremendously gratifying. It was remarkable to discover that I loved teaching and had a gift for it.

It did, however, take a lot of work, energy and training, once we had to move teaching online when COVID-19 hit. As I’ve often said, even doing what you love requires balance to avoid burnout and undue stress. So, I stepped back from writing my blog, but I was so glad to see my readers visiting past articles.

Many are finding new skills that they didn’t know they had. From bread baking, knitting, writing and home schooling, to decorating, painting, landscaping, counseling, singing, consulting and more, isn’t it wonderful to find out how GOOD you are at these new skills and gifts?  Many of you are finding that you are not only good, but EXCELLENT at them.

And that is my point. Excellence has no expiration date. YAY!

This time of staying in can be a time of reinvention and rejuvenation. Of looking at yourselves and thinking about what you’ve always wanted to try your hand at. Who knows?
