What Comes Next?

3/4/2021

When you turn fifty, it's considered "middle aged" and it's no secret that you probably have less years ahead of you than behind you. You're also nearing retirement age and for most women our ability to have children (naturally) also starts to fade. 

It's all very disconcerting and makes you feel like there's nothing to look forward to! Well, I'm here to tell you: THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!

Fifty is not the end. It's the beginning of whatever you want it to be! Change jobs, start a business, write a book, dye your hair, shave your head, start a garden, redecorate your house, sell your house, wear a bikini, move to another state! As long as you have breath in your body, what comes next is totally up to you!

The Best Thing

1/26/2021

One of the questions I ask when women submit their photos to the Face of Fifty Gallery is "What's the best thing about being in your fifties?" And the vast majority have the same reply phrased in many different ways, "freedom." Freedom to do what I want. Freedom from expectations. Freedom from caring what others think. The fifties are indeed a liberating time. It's a shame that we have to wait so long to gain this insight, wisdom, and release. But I also suppose we had to wait until the time was right. Right for us to be able to handle all that comes along with being free. We know what matters now, and we aren't so easily impressed. We know and truly understand the truest form of freedom is being able to finally be who we were meant to be all along, and that's really the best thing!

"We live in a youth-obsessed culture that is constantly trying to tell us that if we are not young, and we’re not glowing, and we’re not hot, that we don’t matter. I refuse to let a system or a culture or a distorted view of reality tell me that I don’t matter. I know that only by owning who and what you are can you start to step into the fullness of life. Every year should be teaching us all something valuable. Whether you get the lesson is really up to you." – Oprah Winfrey
