Summary
At nearly 90 years old, Susan Taylor Hanselman sat down with an iPad, a view of snowy rooftops, spring daffodils, and a lifetime of stories ready to pour out-stories she continues to write today.Born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, she has lived nearly a century surrounded by family, friends, and the kind of small-town mind-boggling connections that weave a rich and tangled tapestry of life. With humor, clear-eyed wisdom, and an unwavering sense of self, she reflects on long-forgotten traditions, and the deep roots that hold a person steady through a lifetime of change - "It's not what happens, so much as it's how you handle it." Now, approaching her 99th birthday, Memorial Day 2025, Susan offers a living portrait-not just of where she has been but of the determined spirit that carries her forward.This journal is not polished or sugar-coated. It's real - sometimes funny, sometimes sharp, always deeply human. It's a love letter to a life well-lived, and a town well-loved.About The Author ~ Susan Taylor HanselmanI'm a people person who's good at reading, writing, arithmetic, and a love of the theater.
