Renewal Summit #10: The Highlights
Anne Akers and I are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us for this year’s Renewal Summit at Scandinavia House on May 16—marking the Summit’s 10th anniversary and The Three Tomatoes’ 20th year. From the moment we stepped on stage, the room was alive with energy, connection, and anticipation. The day unfolded against a backdrop of smiling attendees, shared purpose, and a vibrant exhibitor marketplace followed by a powerful progression of conversations on longevity, emotional vitality, healing after loss, stress reduction, and purposeful living—each session offering both heartfelt wisdom and practical tools for thriving in midlife and beyond.

The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
