Your blog can be your space—no rules, no deadlines, no grades. It’s your garden of thoughts. Plant whatever you want. Watch it grow.
Whether you write once a week or once a month, it becomes a rhythm. A new chapter. A soft but steady “I’m still here, and I’ve still got something to say.”
Young people today are looking for guidance from unexpected places as long as it is real, gentle wisdom from someone who’s walked the path. You don’t have to lecture. Just tell your truth.
Write about heartbreak and how you got through it. Or the 3 things you’d never do again. Or what it felt like becoming a mother for the first time, moving to a new country, twice. Those words could help someone in ways you’ll never see.
The internet is flooded with loud opinions, but quiet, thoughtful voices? Those are rare.
Your blog could be a place to reflect on aging, womanhood, marriage, grief, politics, parenting—whatever matters to you. It’s not about being famous. It’s about being heard.
You could call it “Wisdom from Long Beach” or “Letters from My 70s”. Or maybe just “Hi, I’m Mom.”
Remember how much you loved making scrapbooks or journaling in that floral notebook? Ha! You’ve never done that. But Blogging is easier- just add photos, poems, sketches, or even recipes. It’s a place to make or collect stuff just for the joy of it. You can even teach Vietnamese.
You get to decorate it, choose your colors, and decide how it looks. (I can help if you have questions.)
You’ve lived through history: the rise of the internet, the fall of phone booths, love letters that took weeks to arrive, music on vinyl, and your first microwave. You’ve seen fashions, wars, peace, babies born, people lost, and everything in between. That’s gold.
Your blog doesn’t need to be a masterpiece. It just needs to be you. Your stories, memories, and thoughts could inspire someone—or help your grandkids understand where they came from.
Feeling lonely sometimes? You’re not alone. A blog can open a door to conversations you didn’t expect—with readers, fellow seniors, young moms, or other women who just needed to hear what you had to say.
You can write about your garden, your faith, your travels, or your favorite lemon pie. Someone, somewhere, will read it and smile. And maybe they’ll write back.
You help people with Zoom calls is keeping your mind sharp, but writing regularly is even better. Studies show it helps with memory, focus, and creativity. Think of blogging as a crossword puzzle—but with your own words. You’re organizing your thoughts, recalling vivid moments, shaping them into meaning.
Besides, learning new digital skills—even something as simple as hitting “publish”—keeps your brain elastic. Neuroplasticity doesn’t retire at 70.
“You’re never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.” —C.S. Lewis
Dear Mom,
You’ve lived seven vibrant decades filled with stories, lessons, adventures, heartbreaks, victories, recipes, friendships, and maybe even a few “secrets”. But here’s the thing—most of those treasures live in your memory. What if you could share them with the world? Or just with us, your family?
I’m kind of serious because I made this site for you, so you can start your Blog.
No, it’s not just something for teenagers or influencers. It’s for you—your voice, your life, your wisdom. I listed all the reasons why you should start today.
Happy Birthday.
