Senior Living at its Best

About The Bright Side of 50

Welcome to The Bright Side of 50, a publication dedicated to celebrating life, embracing aging, and inspiring our vibrant 50+ community.

The Bright Side of 50 was founded by Cleone “Cleo” Nistler, a visionary who believed that life after 50 is filled with opportunities for growth, connection, and joy. As the original publisher, Cleo poured her heart into creating a magazine that uplifted and empowered its readers, sharing stories of resilience, wisdom, and positivity.

This publication remains a reflection of Cleo’s passion and dedication. Though she is no longer with us, her legacy lives on in every page, every article, and every story we tell. Cleo’s vision continues to guide us as we explore topics that matter most to our readers—from health and well-being to lifelong learning, from community connections to personal growth.

Now, under the care of her family, we are honored to carry Cleo’s dream forward. Our mission is to build on her foundation, offering fresh perspectives while staying true to the core values she held dear.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we can continue to look at the bright side of 50—and beyond.

With gratitude,
Cleo’s Daughter and now publisher – Paula Woischke & The Bright Side of 50 Team
