April 12, 2019 ~ Loss; housekeeping

05/01/2019

Six of us were here today. We have an ongoing discussion regarding how big this group 'should' be.
And we discovered that I had inadvertently left Kate off our email list! oops! Fixed!

Some of us agreed that we would like to know the topic for discussion before we meet and some want a reminder
of the meeting itself, since we meet on 2nd and 4th Fridays, instead of every week ...
For now, I will send those out: the reminder to be the day or two before a meeting, and the announced topic will be sent to the list by the facilitator, or
that person will email me, and I'll announce it.

Revin facilitated our discussion today on the subject of Loss. Things we loose as we age can fall into these categories:
Identity, Health, Money, Visibility. etc. Several of us shared our experiences with these losses or similar ones.

Irma volunteered to Host while I am in Texas on May 10th.
NWH volunteered to facilitate the discussion at the next meeting, April 26th.

Who are We and Why ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Itsa Village is the online presence of a group of women who meet IRL twice a month to talk about aging, living and dying, health, money, funerals, ageism, etc. And to share our joys and sorrows as we experience this life as Women and as Elders, Olders, Crones, or Hags. Along the way, we are claiming and usually redefining these words, for ourselves and others. We've come to understand that we need Community to continue aging as independently as possible. Yes, the capital C Community. So for us, community equals Interdependence which equals a greater freedom than we might manage on our own as time moves on for us all.

Our Rules

What happens in the group stays in the group, including the names of members.
Stay on the subject as much as you/we can. (Sometimes the tangents are valuable; sometimes no.)
Don't offer advice unless it is specifically invited.
Don't interrupt another person.
Speak in the first person as much as possible.

Itsa Village

Itsa Village is a small community of women building relationships and exploring the wonders and pitfalls of aging.
