I once asked a 101 year old woman what it felt like to hold her great, great, great granddaughter, someone born more than a century after her.
She told me, “It feels like leaping into heaven.”
In the longest lived places I’ve studied, people don’t just add years to their life, they’re anchored by a deep sense of purpose. A reason to wake up. A reason to keep going.
In Okinawa, they call it ikigai.
And sometimes, it looks like this. 💙
