A brilliant article in appreciation of aging appears in the September 2017 issue of Allure magazine written by Editor-in-Chief Michelle Lee. It’s a must-read! Lee has already said it all, but as I always say “Age Doesn’t Matter!” Get an issue today and add her article to your inspiration board. Everything she says is important, but I will try to give you some key ideas here:
When we use the term “anti-aging,” whether we know it or not, we’re subtly reinforcing the message that aging is a condition we need to battle.
If there’s one inevitability in life, it’s that we’re getting older.

Together we can start to change the conversation and celebrate the beauty in all ages.

The main thing I do is search for the good things in each day, and think about all of the things I appreciate and am grateful for.

There are many ways to achieve happiness, and we all have our own favorites. But I’m always interested in knowing more about how people get happy. Every day is another chance to form new habits. Age doesn’t matter.
Before I share with you the habits that bring joy, I want to quote a powerful reminder of what truly makes us happy. In “The Simple Guide to Being Wonderful” in Spirituality & Health magazine, Emma Seppala, PhD, concludes: Continue Reading
I love layering: layering clothes, necklaces, bracelets, rings, anything! But that doesn’t mean I do it very often or that I’m good at it. It takes some playing around.
