What Readers Are Saying
This book is like a masterclass in empowerment. Sally shows in luminous prose that endurance and aspiration are not the right words for us[BAL1] . Instead, celebration and openness to the wonder and artistry of our lives are the optimum ways to express who we are. Plus it’s downright fun to read! There is no higher endorsement than to simply say: You will be happy you read this book.
– David Spangler, author of The Call, and Apprenticed to Spirit

– Chloe Goodchild, singing philosopher, voice healer, founder of The Naked Voice, and author of, “The Naked Voice, Transform Your Life through the Power of Sound”
Minding the Muse is a joyride. There are struggles, and there is grief, but all along the way, the Muse is there, whispering: “Now, paint. Now, write. Now, dance and sing.” And why would you not, when life is so short and so precious?
– Ann Hedreen, author of Her Beautiful Brain
We each possess a creative spirit, but few of us recognize it, and even fewer still live in ways to give it wings—especially after midlife. Sally Fox’s wise, funny book, Meeting the Muse After Midlife, shows us by example that aging is less about cognitive decline than about creative incline, if not creative flight. It’s never too late to find your way. Let Sally Fox’s story be your inspiring guide.
-Jeffrey Davis, author of Tracking Wonder: Reclaiming a Life of Meaning & Possibility in a World Obsessed with Productivity

Meeting the Muse After Midlife: A Journey to Meaning, Creativity and Joy is about one woman’s quest—mine— to find passion and purpose in aging.
As I crossed the threshold of midlife, my heart started telling me, I wanted more! More joy. More ability to make the most of each each moment as I stepped into the land of getting older.
After years of being a successful consultant and educator, my soul wanted my full attention.
Time to trade in some “professional credibility” for the ability to express my authentic, quirky self.
I wrote. I did improv theatre. I gardened like my life depended on it.
And then, I met the Muse.
And began to trust myself.
Join me on a journey to a more expressive life, challenging old messages about aging even as I deal with the losses and challenges getting older can bring.
I’ll show you how my intuition and Muses guided me to a sense of purpose that was more than “just words.”
I’ll inspire you to experiment through my explorations, some successful and then share the practices and disciplines that helped support my new, more creative world.
Feel inspired to see how you, too, could leave behind the old messages and stories that left you smaller than you are.
Travel with me as I learned to delight in beauty, garner wisdom, and feed my soul.
