Waking up to Seventy by Zahia Fahmy
Never in her wildest dreams did author Zahia Fahmy believe she would be seventy years old. That's ancient. That's her grandmother. That's an old, quirky aunt. As Fahmy comes to terms with her age, she explores the memories and life experiences that got her to where she is today. Waking Up to Seventy shares Fahmy's slow awakening from grief to the shocking realization that seventy is but a few months away. In this memoir, she journeys through the streets of her beloved Alexandria and introduces her people and her family. Following the thread of grief of losing loved ones and the anger and denial that follows, Fahmy concludes that the human inner store of memories is, in fact, the only salvation. Remembrance is the soul's warm, loving, and gentle way of guiding one to acceptance and to healing.
Zahia Fahmy, born and raised in Egypt, attended a French Catholic school and earned a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Alexandria.

A spiritual seeker, reader, and writer, Fahmy studied meditation, Kriya yoga, Jikiden Reiki, and other healing modalities. She and her husband currently live on a Greek island, home for more than thirty years.
