Shopping at Meijer, I spotted an interesting woman, nicely-dressed with voluminous white hair. As we passed each other, I stopped in my tracks. I introduced myself and she told me her name was Sandy. I asked if she would mind posing for a photo and she said, “Sure!”. We looked around us and said in unison, “in front of…eggs?!” We were next to the dairy case. Baked goods looked much nicer, so we moved along to the case of special occasion cakes to take our photo.
When she told me she was 76, my jaw dropped in disbelief with the same reaction that everyone else probably has. She said, “The number is scary, but I don’t feel old and I don’t think I look old.” I said, “Oh my gosh, you give me hope that I won’t just shrivel up and get old when I’m in my 70’s!” Obviously, age doesn’t matter!

This is all about why I chose the name “Your True Self” for my blog. And why age doesn’t matter to your true self within.
I am captivated when I see bohemian styles in fashion, decor, parts of the world, and in ourselves. By that, I mean our inner selves.
One day, I was reading an introduction to boho fashion. It explained that the bohemian personality not only dressed in a freely creative way, but also was connected to nature and was a free spirit who expressed her true self in words, deeds and surroundings. Not all bohemians are alike. They each express their unique personality, tastes and opinions. Continue Reading
Age Doesn't Matter, Inspiration, Inspire Your True Self
Is your computer aging you? Age doesn’t matter, because cosmetic surgeons claim that they are seeing more and more younger patients showing signs of aging. These include accelerated fine lines, wrinkles, frown lines, turkey neck, deep wrinkles, and jowls. In September 2010, the Daily Mail published an interesting report. According to a leading cosmetic surgeon, professionals who sit for hours in front of the computer—and who tend to squint, frown, or remain in one position for a long period of time—are at a greater risk for the appearance of premature aging. But there are many things you can do to prevent this from happening. Continue Reading
