Isabel Allende

Allende presents a challenge to her audience – that they live a life of passion, no matter what they’re age. Allende talks about some of the fears that she has faced herself as she’s aged and about the choice that she made to make sure that her life was lived fully and without regrets for what might have been.

And, on a final note, retirement in Spanish is jubilación. Jubilation. Celebration. We have paid our dues. We have contributed to society. Now it’s our time, and it’s a great time.Unless you are ill or very poor, you have choices. I have chosen to stay passionate,engaged with an open heart. I am working on it every day. Want to join me?
