Why We are Honored to be a PBS Next Avenue “Sites We Love”

Have you ever had something really good happen to you out of the blue?

That’s how we felt when PBS’s Next Avenue contacted us saying that they were featuring us as a Sites We Love.

Shut up! we thought. This seriously can’t be happening. We freaking LOVE Next Avenue.

We first came across Next Avenue when we clicked on their fabulous tagline, Where Grown-ups Keep Growing.

This is a statement that we can most definitely relate to – we strongly feel that if we are not growing in wisdom, growing closer to our significant others, growing in our relationships with our adult kids and aging parents, growing in our outlook in the world, and growing ourselves – we are simply growing older.

Not much fun in that, is there?

We check into Next Avenue regularly to find valuable info on wellness and money issues, work/life balance, caregiving, and lifelong learning – all things that we face and tackle as people “of a certain age.”

Life changes. But rather than fight it, we choose to embrace it. But there’s no reason to run headlong into it unarmed!

PBS has never steered us wrong.

Our kids grew up with Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers, quality programming that we enjoyed watching too (and no junk food commercials!).

Now that we travel full time, PBS is there for us – many times the only station we can pick up from BAMF the RV.

See why we’re so honored?

Be sure to check out the other honorees – we know many of these folks and they are making a difference around the web. Boomer Cafe, Grown and Flown, My Itchy Travel Feet, Midlife Boulevard, Vibrant Nation… click in to see them all.

We are proud to be among them – look at us go grow!
