I belong to an amazing Facebook group called Forever Fierce: The Midlife Revolution, spearheaded by Catherine Grace O’Connell. Their first Forever Fierce Day is February 19, 2018. To celebrate, the group is asking women in midlife and beyond “What does it mean to you to be Forever Fierce in midlife and beyond?” The group promotes the idea that age doesn’t matter when it comes to women staying “fierce.”
I was surprised to be faced from the start with reactions against the word “fierce.” Continue Reading
I was reading a blog post about warm winter coats, and by the end of it I was amazed that all they talked about was puffer coats! What about fur? (Remember to always buy faux fur to protect animals.) I believe fur is just as warm, and looks better, too! Age doesn’t matter. We can all look good and feel warm in faux fur coats. Continue Reading
Yesterday, I was wishing my cousin a happy birthday despite the fact that her mother had just died. She replied, “I’m glad we’re still having them.” We want to still have them for a long time to come, and we want them to be healthy and happy too.
In a “Natural Awakenings” magazine article entitled Ageless Being: Staying Vibrant in Mind, Body and Spirit by Kathleen Barnes, the author begins with quotes by Christiane Northrup, M.D. She is a leading authority in the field of women’s health and wellness, which includes the unity of mind, body, emotions and spirit. Dr. Northrup often says, “Don’t tell anyone how old you are. Another birthday means nothing.” As I always say, age doesn’t matter! So I’d like to explore here what we can do to live a long, fulfilling life.
In an effort to encourage you to make the best of what you have (age doesn’t matter), I am sharing a short series of articles that are inspiring. 🙂
The November issue of InStyle magazine contains an interview with Drew Barrymore, “The 5 Beauty Products Drew Barrymore Swears By.” But what’s really important about that interview, and what drew me to read it, is the highlighted quote where she said:
“Instead of beating yourself up about what you don’t have, figure out what you do have and make it work.”
I have a simple little thing to tell you today: Make the best of what you have. Age doesn’t matter. No matter what age, size or body type you are, you can always appreciate your good points and take care of them and play them up.
A long time ago, when my children were small, I had a woman come in to clean my house to help me catch up on things. I was apologizing for some old parts of the house that I wasn’t able to replace because of the cost. She reassured me, “Just make the best of what you have.” Then she polished it up and when she was done, the whole place felt so sparkling and new. I felt so much better; she made me happier about my house!
Your body can be like that, too, and your wardrobe. Continue Reading
