Our volunteers at ElderWisdomCircle dispense such wise, warm-hearted advice that we couldn’t resist sharing some gems with you too. If you want to ask for advice right now check out the ask for advice page.
We post a new problem and the advice here twice per week so check back regularly (or subscribe) to find out what’s bothering our young letter writers, and what their wise older mentors have to say about it.
I hope you’ll feel inspired to apply their wisdom to your own life—and remember, if there’s something on your mind, our elders are always here to help.
