Betty and and Josie

[Guest guest]

Hi Betty,

About the 4am group post, I am a night person at heart (but, yes, the

other does apply to me as well). I was glad to hear that your mom is

doing good in the NH. And thank you for the sentiments. You have

such a beautiful way with words.

Hi ,

So sweet of you to come to the defense of Betty and Josie who truly

are aging very, very gracefully! Unfortunately, the modern

dictionaries have lost site of the true meaning of crone. It

originated as a word indicating the strength and wisdom of women, as

the quote below describes. I think their phrase " accessing our wisdom

and acting upon it " describes all of the LBD caregivers here,

regardless of age or gender....

-------

For millennia women's wisdom was honored; crones were revered.

Today women are reclaiming the identity and status of the ancient

crone. We are coming of age, accessing our wisdom and acting upon it.

Croning is the process of becoming active wise women.

Croning can begin at any age and is particularly relevant for women

45 and older. Personal experiences of aging and ageism provide the

impetus to recognize and reverse the negative images (internal and

external) of old women. We can activate our potential as wisdom

carriers and guardians of the future by learning of our ancient crone

heritage, honoring the cycles and seasons, respecting the web of life.

------

Take care all,

Peggy

Dear Peggy:

Thank you for the beautiful definition of Crone. It is the way I see myself

and what I meant, a wise older lady. Hugs,

Josie
