I wasn’t aware that Naomi had written books until after her tragic passing. I was intrigued by the title of this book. It was actually a very well written & practical guide to aging. I loved that she was the narrator. Really made you feel like a girlfriend was giving sage advice. It was so sad that many time in the book she foreshadowed her death & preparing for it. I know the book was published years ago, but she seemed to have recognized her mental health issues & was taking steps to keep herself mentally & physically healthy. What a shame she lost her battle with her demons. She will be missed!

Interesting take on aging that makes sense.

Even though I'm not a whole-hearted Judd fan, there is something about Naomi that just fascinates me. Her books always sound so full of herself, and I still haven't gotten over the fact that "Love Can Build A Bridge" is filled with that HUGE lie of Michael Ciminella being Wy's biological father - and then she proceeds to trash him, when after hearing the truth, I respect him more. But it does seem that Naomi has truly been gaining some humility and wisdom as she ages. Many of her practical suggestions about getting along with family and decluttering one's life makes a lot of sense. I may not agree with everything, but she's always fun to read for reasons I haven't fully figured out yet.
