Where Wisdom Meets Wonder
Forty Stories of Grandma Love
‘Judith Frizlen blesses her readers in three ways. She shares. She models. She guides. First, she lets us share intimate glimpses of her relationships with her grandsons, her extended family, and her husband. These are tender, delightful sweet reads. Second, she models the “wise woman’s” courage to learn, grow, and reflect on herself and life. Third, she makes the gift of the wisdom she holds from years of devotion to the early years of childhood. Most of us find ourselves Grandmas full of love but not so full of this special understanding. Judith shares her wisdom wisely and guides us to deeply wonder at our wonder-full grandchildren.‘
– Lynn Jericho, spiritual mentor, writer, founder, Imagine Self Academy
How often we hear the term “old” used to reference a state of diminishment! Where Wisdom Meets Wonder is a memoir that aims to turn that idea on its head, celebrating the wisdom years through the happy ways in which aging allows us to revisit the wonders of childhood. The child is alive and well inside all of us.
While Where Wisdom Meets Wonder speaks to readers who have moved into the Third Act, it also calls out to parents of young children. These stories will give parents a reassuring glimpse of what’s to come.
Where Wisdom Meets Wonder is a confident statement about the turf that only a person in the wisdom years can command. It vindicates the dignity which perhaps, in our obsession with what dazzles the eye, has been lost in our meager evaluation of aging.
With mirth and a reaffirmed sense of personal worth, Judith Frizlen seeks to change older people’s perspectives. She hopes that these pages will inspire you to take on a beautiful new role as you step into the Third Act of life.
