The Baby Boomer Generation has experienced a world vastly different from the one today. As we are Aging, the importance of maintaining social connections cannot be understated, both for our mental and physical Health. Our Experts in this section of the site explore how Baby Boomers connect and reconnect in today’s fast-evolving social and technological landscape. Historically, Baby Boomers preferred face-to-face interactions, whether through social clubs, community gatherings, or simple visits. Phone calls and handwritten letters also played crucial roles in our social lives, emphasizing a more personal touch in communication.
As the world digitizes, so have Baby Boomers. We are now active on platforms like Facebook, Skype, Twitter X, LinkedIn, YouTube and Instagram, using these tools to keep in touch with Family and reconnect with old friends. Successful strategies to stay connected include shared interests such as hobbies, sports, and cultural activities and regularly scheduled reunions, while consistent family gatherings also help maintain strong bonds. To enhance our quality of life and stay engaged and remain active participants in society, we must stay connected.

You won't be surprised to hear that I had another moment of inspiration on a recent hike… This time it was about seeing meaningful, pivotal moments not as the experience itself, but in how we talk about it later. In late August of 2018 my husband and I had an amazing opportunity to travel to southern France to perform with a jazz quartet at two venues. The first was in Arudy on the edge of the Pyrenees Mountains near the border with Spain. It was a sold-out community event attended by 200+ residents of the surrounding villages. Most of our audience didn't speak English or had very limited ex…
