I’m sharing this fantastic KQED Perspectives by my good friend and fellow Write On Mama, Dorothy O’Donnell. When a hiking group told Dorothy she was “too old” to join their ranks, Dorothy — characteristically — didn’t take the news sitting down. She did what all good writers do: used her voice and pen to fight back.
Her last line resonates: “You can call me old. But please — don’t tell me what I’m too old to do.”
Bravissima, Dorothy!
