Celebrating 60 - Ronna Fay Jevne Ph.D.
Celebrating 60 is a set of reflections on living that can make any life more thoughtful, responsive, and joyful for anyone using it as a compass. The notion, that so many aspects of life over so many years are worthy of celebration, is a framework that would serve us all well across our lives.
Ronna's sense and understanding of humanity is one of the truest expressions that I have experienced in a literary form. She weaves threads of gentle reflection into a tapestry of important topics such as friendship and family, spirituality and abundance. Her honest disclosure of what she has navigated, created, survived, and loved touches minds and hearts in a way that is deeply settling both emotionally and intellectually.

This is an extraordinarily human book, a life opened with honesty and transparency. As humans, we unfold and re-align as we age. Celebrating 60 rings true to the tasks and sensitivities of this pivotal decade of life. Ronna doesn't just take us there in her wisdom, but leads us with her keen insight, humour and grace. I have read Celebrating 60 at the fulcrum of the same decade of my life. I wish that I had the self-awareness and insight into the unique challenges and potentials of this decade that Ronna had as she entered it. This is a think-about book, perhaps one to be read with a personal journal open nearby. There are many zingers of compact wisdom here to be claimed!
