Capturing the Essence of Life has been her commitment to the immense possibilities of Exploring Life through Aging, graduating into the second half, and creating Ageless Living and Endless Energy. Fabulous after 50™ is an inspired journey of Hopes, Dreams and Faith... and the Vitality of Your Light within your soul gives a reaffirmation to those approaching, or those attaining the Flame of Triumph in Mid-Life. You show, through Fabulous after 50™, the teachings of experience... the Passions... the Magnificence of Reflections... It gives a Ph.D. to the Golden 50 and beyond... In this age of living longer, many women forget about Living Better! The race to prolong life somehow stops the drive to add quality to that life. This doesn't have to be. As one approaches that Golden Age, a fountain of effervescent wisdom challenges the reader of Fabulous after 50™ to relish the future. Meet it. Befriend it. Welcome 50 and realize that passing through physical, emotional, and spiritual change is taking you to powerful places of possibility. Raised in the South, in Northern Alabama on a tenant cotton farm working with all her family members in the tenant cotton fields, she had a vision and passion even at that young age, to make her life and others' lives more productive, seeing what hard, long work days and getting older did to those around her. A mother of 3 and a grandmother of 8, and now at a very "YOUNG 69", an unexpected divorce later in life promoted a more positive approach to her future and what was to play in it. She was writing about, and promoting, a Positive Aging Lifestyle before most were even thinking about it. Her "Quest" or "Mission", since, has been to "Promote Positive Aging" for all, especially for those who are approaching or who might have attained that Golden 50 and Beyond. To help all those who are struggling to find a comfortable zone from which to inspire their own passions, hopes and dreams. We call her the "Original Baby Boomer Promoter" because of her tremendous insight years previous to the coming of the Baby Boomer Wave of Aging Younger. Today she is known as "The Golden Egg of Aging", and the Lady with "The Most Stunning Smile" ! |
