These Are Some Proud Old Crones
Author: Meg Heckman Source: Concord Monitor (NH)
Title: THESE ARE SOME PROUD OLD CRONES
Call Natalie Smith a crone and she'll thank you. To Smith, "crone" isn't a nasty barb but a title bestowed upon her 20 years ago by a group of younger women wishing to honor her wisdom and experience.
Now at 88, Smith is among the elders at the Concord Unitarian Universalist Church. With horned staff in hand, she leads the closing blessing at the annual winter solstice service and, as a retired federal budget officer, critiques the church's books. In between, she serves as a role model for younger women in a world that often values their beauty over their other skills.

I started to think of myself as a crone at age 50. It seemed like the right time to me. I just became a great-aunt so that seems pretty cool aspect of cronehood also.
