Lois Alter Mark of Midlife At The Oasis

About Lois Alter Mark “At this point in my life, I know what makes me happy, and I’m going for it. Midlife at the Oasis is a community of women who feel the same way, and who have the power to make things happen — for themselves and others. As someone once said — and, really, I would credit them if I could remotely remember who it was — it’s the second act that has the happy ending.”… Read More
