Living an Authentic, Wise, and Eccentric Life with Mary Bub

Host Elizabeth Hill speaks with author Mary Bub about her new book, Letters to Betty at 80: Reflections on Authentic, Wise, and Eccentric Years. Mary shares how writing letters helped her process grief after her husband’s death, the lessons of the "grief box" and daily "ordinary things," and how those practices evolved into workshops and community support. 

The episode also covers Mary’s persistence getting media attention (including a TV appearance), practical discussion prompts for readers, and upcoming local workshops for those facing loss and caregiving challenges. 

In Letters to Betty at 80, Mary Bub encourages readers to not just follow along on her eightieth trip around the sun, but to travel with her. Letters to Betty at 80 explores themes that readers of any age can relate to—feeling out of place, acceptance versus resignation, perspective, and familial relationships—with the unique perspective of someone who has lived a long life (82 years!)

Breath, Ink, and Hope: Guided Writing Meditation for These Times

Today, I lead a short guided writing meditation to bring clarity about current national events, your personal life, and daily thoughts. Use a pen and paper (or sit with the words silently), take calming breaths and gentle movements, then free-write about what you feel in your body, how events have impacted you, challenges and joys at home or work, one thing that gives you hope, and one concrete action you will take. Close with a heart-centered breath to carry hope forward.
