New Beginnings at 70: One Woman's Year of Self-Discovery and Adventure
At 70, Alese Johnston felt like she'd become stale. For three decades, she'd been married to the same man, telling the same stories to her friends and acquaintances. But when she read an article by a 60-year-old writer who was feeling the same way about himself, Johnston realized she wasn't alone in her boredom. She decided then and there that she would try 70 new things over the course of a year – something she dubbed "Fabulous70.com."
Johnston's journey began with small, seemingly insignificant changes: trying a nem spring roll for the first time at a local supper club, taking an erotic blueprint class to learn about intimacy, and even attending a pole-dancing class. But as the months went by, her endeavors grew bolder. She learned how to fly, walked new trails, minted a meme coin on cryptocurrency marketplaces, and got a Brazilian wax.
As Johnston navigated this year of self-discovery, she also underwent significant personal growth. Two years prior, she had gotten divorced from a 30-year marriage – a relationship that had been marked by her attempts to prioritize others' desires over her own needs. However, after a stint in therapy and the realization that she'd spent far too long being responsible for everyone else's happiness, Johnston started to explore what it truly meant to be herself.
The transformation was profound. She began to shed old habits and forge new ones, all while cultivating an insatiable sense of adventure. For someone who had once ducked from responsibility, Johnston now reveled in the freedom to make choices without fear of reprisal or judgment. As she said, "I realized I didn't need anybody else's permission... It's actually OK to be a little irresponsible."
This year of self-discovery not only revitalized Johnston but also provided her with a renewed sense of purpose. With her 70th mission under wraps, Johnston is now focused on launching a new project aimed at combating loneliness and fostering longevity – an endeavor born from the lessons she learned along the way.
Johnston's remarkable journey serves as a testament to the power of embracing change, especially in our later years. As we navigate life's twists and turns, it's never too late to rediscover ourselves and push beyond perceived limits. With courage, determination, and a willingness to take risks, anyone can embark on a year of self-discovery and emerge transformed – just as Alese Johnston did at 70.

... I'm loving Alese's vibe here! At 70, she's still got the spark and is crushing it with all these new adventures 
. It's crazy to think that someone who was feeling so stale just a year ago would be minting meme coins on cryptocurrency marketplaces 
. But seriously, it's amazing how she was able to find her passion again after hitting rock bottom in her previous marriage. I mean, two years is a long time to have been trying to prioritize others' needs over her own... that's some growth right there 
.
. We could all learn from Alese's example... it's never too late to make a change and start living the life you want 
.
this woman is literally an inspiration 
and the fact that she took control of her life after a divorce and therapy is just amazing 
. it's never too late to make a change and find yourself again 
. alese johnston's story is proof that age is just a number, and we should all be embracing adventure and self-discovery no matter what our age 
.
after years of trying 
It's amazing how just taking small steps and being brave can lead to such a huge transformation. She used to be so responsible for everyone else's happiness, but now she's all about doing what makes her happy. I love that about her. And it's so inspiring that she wants to help others combat loneliness and live longer - she's like a superhero! 
. Three decades of being stuck in a rut is not exactly uncommon, but trying all these new things like learning to fly and minting a meme coin is pretty wild . It's almost as if she realized that all those years of putting others first was suffocating her own desires 
. Anyways, I kinda admire her for taking responsibility for herself after two divorces, but it's not like it's some sort of revolutionary concept at this point in life 
. At 70, she realized she'd been sleepwalkin' through life and needed a shake-up 
. Tryin' new things might seem crazy, but it sounds like that's exactly what she needed to break free from her old habits 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to learn how to fly or attend a pole-dancing class? 
. It just goes to show that you're never too old to try somethin' new and discover a whole new version of yourself 
. But seriously, I'm glad Alese found her "Fabulous70.com" because it sounds like she's really living up to the name 
.
What if more people took Alese's lead and created their own projects to address loneliness and longevity? 
That takes guts! And minting a meme coin on cryptocurrency marketplaces? She's not afraid to take risks and try new things. I think what's even more inspiring is that she went through therapy after her divorce to learn how to prioritize herself. That takes so much courage and self-awareness.
. I think this story shows us that it's never too late to make a change and try new things - we should all be cheering her on! 
. I think it's so inspiring to see her learn to prioritize herself and not be held back by fear of what others might think 
. And honestly, who wouldn't want to try flying or attending pole-dancing class at 70? 
.
I THINK IT'S AMAZING HOW SHE WAS WILLING TO GET OUT OF HER COMFORT ZONE AND TAKE RISKS. FLYING, POLE-DANCING, AND EVEN CRYPTOCURRENCY MARKETPLACE MEME COINS - WHAT A LIFE! 
Is she going to start a community or something? I'd love to hear more about it! 
. it's like she took control and created her own "fabulous70.com" and it paid off in the most incredible way 
.
It just goes to show that you're never too old to make a change and start living your best life.
