Dear Subscribers,

To celebrate Stronger Women’s strong start, and to thank you for your support, I’m pleased to send paid and founding subscribers this bonus content: My 20-page graphic story, hot off the press: A Wild Swim.

It’s a true tale about the folly of denying inevitable age-related physical declines, as illustrated by my perilous plunge into the icy North Atlantic, where I risked joining the Titanic on the sea floor while trying in vain to prove to myself that I am still young, strong, and brave. I would love to hear any responses.

Just download the PDF below — and feel free to share with friends.

Print (and digital) versions are also available on amazon.
