Imagine your life as a perpetual learning journey where you grow braver and more transcendent as the years pass. That is how Trudy Berlin has lived. She is the 98-year-old host of \\u201cThe Ladies Room with Trudy Berlin\\u201d, a weekly discussion group for women over 70. She started it twenty years ago and when the pandemic hit, the group went virtual. The Washington Post christened Trudy \\u201cthe \\u2018Oprah\\u2019 of senior citizens\\u201d at the Adolph & Rose Levis Jewish Community Center in Boca Raton, Florida.\\xa0 In her nineties, she continues to live with undiminished excitement, appreciation, openness and yes, fun. Trudy has written all her life \\u2013she went back to school at 39 to study literature and poetry at Sarah Lawrence\\u2014 and during the pandemic \\u201cwent back to [her] books and studies,\\u201d realizing, \\u201cI have so much more I want to say.\\u201d Trudy reminded us of a Thoreau quote warning that most people die \\u201cwith their song unsung.\\u201d We trust that Trudy\\u2019s determination to continually perfect and amplify her song, bringing a vibrant group of older women along with her, will inspire you to turn up your own volume!
