WORDS TO LIVE BY

"40 is the new 60!"

"To age is a privilege."

"Beautiful old people are works of art." Eleanor Roosevelt

"You can't fake, buy, implant or paint on wisdom, personal style, and richness of character."

Diane Gilman, Fashion Designer

"Where there is age, there is evolution."

Angelica Huston

"Life exists beyond 50." Carmen Dell' Orefice

"I do not accept my age - I celebrate it! I wear my wrinkles, silver hair, and age spots as medals of honor."Cindy Joseph, 63 year old model

Aging is not lost youth, but a new stage of opportunity and strength. It’s a different stage of life, and if you are going to pretend its youth, you are going to miss it. You are going to miss the surprises, the possibilities, and the evolution that we are just beginning to know. Betty Friedan

WINTER'S WOMAN

The grace of a closing day is far greater than the uncertainty of morning.Yes, the most beautiful part of the day  - in a woman's life - is at the setting of the sun. Like the afterthought of an artist, lines have been etched upon her brow. Her arms are much weaker now and her gait much slower, but she is somehow warmer at life's winter age than she was in the summer days. All of life's tragedy has been wrestled to the mat, and still she stands to attest to the authenticity of her goals, dreams, and ambitions. God knows there are many things only a woman who is full of years and experience can contribute.
Excerpt from "Winter Woman" 
Woman Thou Art Loosed Holy Bible
T.D. Jakes General Editor

MOVE THAT FIERCE FABULOUS AND AGELESS BODY!

Moving our bodies can keep us looking fierce, fabulous and ageless.  It can keep our bodies supple, lean, and flexible. Moving our bodies expends calories, improves our digestion, helps us sleep better, and controls our appetite. We exercise because it assists us through menopause; diminishing hot flashes and the insomnia that often plagues us in menopause. Yoga, walking, swimming, weight training, and Pilates strengthens our heart and bones, combats depression and Anxiety. It can also improve or reduce high blood pressure and diabetes, improve our memory and stave off or slow down Alzhemier's.  Even gardening, mowing the lawn, raking leaves, and vacuuming the living room can burn calories
and give you a good work out.  Of course, eating plenty of whole foods - 
preferably organic vegetables and fruits can also add to a sense of well being -mentally and physically, and keep us fierce, fabulous, and ageless!

It is never too late to be what you might have been - George Eliot
