"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

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!
