Fierce with Age tm is Dr. Carol Orsborn’s online center for spirituality and aging. The center offers Dr. Orsborn's home blog, inspiration, prayers and virtual retreats for the leading edge of the Boomer generation as they make the transition to what Dr. Orsborn refers to as “the wild space beyond midlife.”
In Dr. Orsborn’s welcome message, she describes the need and mission of a website like www.FierceWithAge.com.

“The men and women of my generation redefined midlife. Now a vanguard of life stage revolutionaries have broken through the stereotypes of aging to discover that growing old can also mean growing whole. Through a potent mix of spiritual growth and personal empowerment, we are becoming increasingly unwilling to define success by society’s youth-oriented standards, We are learning how to trade anger, fear and shame for freedom and self-affirmation.
Neither reviling nor romanticizing the challenging realities of growing older, we embrace the wild space beyond midlife as much more than merely accepting aging. Having broken denial, we are getting our first, promising glimpse of what it truly means to be free.
And so it is that I invite you to join me for what promises to be as exciting, challenging and potentially rewarding an experience as every other life stage our generation has transited over the decades of our lives. I do not know for sure where we’re headed. But I trust that through prayer, meditation, personal and spiritual growth, we all have the potential to be fundamentally changed for the good. I hope you join me in saying we would not have it any other way.”
