Aging as a Woman

Age is but a number, it tells the world how long we have been here.
Do we have to retire to our front porch rocking chairs? NO!!!!!!!!!
Do we have to stop being sexy and vibrant? NO!!!!!!!!

    Our society worships youth, but they are still in the learning stages of life, an older woman knows who she is and what she wants. Yes sometimes we can be a handful but that is only because not only are we beautiful but we also have minds full of a lifetime of knowledge.

True we may have a few wrinkles and yes our faces show the life we have lived thus far, but ladies when we reach our 50's and beyond life is far from over.


Keep yourself in good physical shape, stay active, learn new things dare to step outside your comfort zone. It's your time now, the kids are grown do what you love what your passion has always been but put on the back burner for your family and husband. I promise you a spark will unite in that husband when he see's the woman he has loved all his life reinvent herself.
If you find yourself single at this age such as myself what better way than to attract that man of your dreams. Go for it Ladies, you still have so much to give!!!!! Know This, Live This!

  

When I'm Hurt

The tragedy of an accident, it can happen to anyone.
In the beginning there is an outpouring of love and concern.
But what happens when the recovery is long and the months begin to go by?


Many times the one hurt is left to feel depression as friends and family begin to move on with there lives,while the person hurt there life has come to a halt.A person involved in such an accident can become lonely and despair can set in.



  My niece while working in Hawaii was crossing the street in a crosswalk when she was hit by a car and thrown 40 feet into the air. She lived but has a 2 year recovery, the bottom half of her body took all the force of the accident.
I have seen firsthand the devastation that an accident like this brings into another life. Fear of will I ever walk again? Endless therapy with an uncertain outcome.
Where she was once very independent she now has to rely on family for her needs. This takes a very large toll on her emotions as well as physical body.
We can make a difference in there lives by just spending time with them. Letting them know things will get better and encouraging them that there bodies will heal and life for them will go on. Maybe it will be a new reality that they will adapt to but one that can be just as joyous as  the life they had before the accident.
So take sometime out of your day and reach out to those who are hurting, Both you and them will be better for it.
  My niece Jasmine,

Valentines Day

The day for couples!!!!!
What if we are alone on Valentines Day? Maybe we do not have a partner in life at the moment or maybe our partner is far away.
This holiday out of all the others can make a single person feel left out and more alone than ever.
Well I am here to tell you DON'T.... feel alone, celebrate loving yourself. After all that is what the holiday is about.........LOVE!!!!!
Have dinner with others who do not have a romantic partner, call your parents, Maybe just take a nice warm bubble bath with roses, good music, and a glass of wine. 

Enjoy this day and don't worry about finding that special someone, they will come along at just the right time and be everything you ever dreamed of.

Wishing everyone a wonderful and love filled Valentines Day!!!!

Life is like a Rose

A rose beautiful to behold, wonderful to smell just delightful to the touch.........Until you hit a thorn!
 Life is much like a rose both beautiful and tragic at the same time.
I chose the picture of two hands clasping to illustrate the point that we need each other, for the good times as well as the bad.
There is nothing like a good friend full of compassion and understanding when you hit a thorn.
Also what wonderful times we can share with friends when we are enjoying the beauties of life.
                                      Now a friend can be the person you grew up with,someone you just met or even words on a computer screen that in some way touch your heart and soul.
                                       I sincerely  hope that with my blog if you need me you can call me a friend.
Feel free to leave your comments and if you are comfortable share your life experiences. In a way when we do this we are paying it forward, another person may be comforted by your story or you can even spark a thought in their minds that can change there whole life for the better.
                                      Remember we are all in this wonderful world together. Be kind to yourself as well as to others, you don't know what part of the rose they may be holding.
                                            Much love to all my readers!!!!

Fear hold us captive and keeps us from becoming who we were born to be.

empower ourselves for change.

You are not alone everyone has fears, of many things to many to mention.

I encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and look your fears in the eye and declare I am stronger than you.

When we stop living a fearful life we truly begin to experience the wonders and beauty that life has to offer all of us.

The way we overcome our fears ? Well get up your courage and expose yourself to your fear, over and over again. And one day you will see that your no longer have that racing heartbeat or those racing thoughts that I must run. You will see The fear for what it is just a big old bully in our minds!!!!!
