Wisdomship - what does it look like?

From the solara silver blog, September 02, 2026

Throughout my publishing career, collaborations and working with friends was always a given. The joy of sitting around my dining room table, hashing out ideas, book covers, and marketing plans remains a personal and career highlight for me.

All this took a giant pause following my daughter's passing, then COVID, then my re-turn to corporate America for a few years. It wasn't until mid-2024 when my dear friend Eric reached out with an idea to do a book on soul, joy and love in every day life. That book became ONE WITH THE LIGHT.

Then I turned 60. And when recurring caregiving duties took over my life in a deep and demanding way something hit me: I'm not a 'spring chicken' (lol), I'm an old-er mother hen!

While there are countless leadership initiatives for young people/professionals, there are few for individuals 55+-- and so it struck me: the world needs wise elders-- we need to hone our "wisdomship", and model modern elderhood for our children and grandchildren, yes?!?

So, if this makes you smile, would you like to contribute something-anything to this community publication? If so, send your suggestions and contributions to me: mayra@solarapublishing.com or mayraporrata@pm.me and let's see what we can co-create together from my virtual dining room table.

Much like ONE WITH THE LIGHT, WISE ELDERS (a soulful guide to wisdomship) will highlight the various contributors and will be free to all.

Questions? Nice comments? Encouragement? Let's go!
