Wild women embrace life, including whatever season it may
be. Right now in NJ we’re finally
enjoying the spring, which at some point I wasn’t sure I’d ever seen
again! It is a time to look out and see
life and color, to smell the fragrance of the flowers peaking out of their beds
of slumber and to feel a renewed sense of hope.
As I mark another year of living, sometimes I get a wee bit
discouraged that my face has more laugh lines than last year and I’m obviously
not EVAH going to get carded again if I request a glass of wine at my local
pub. The only card I may get asked for
is my AARP card when I ask for the early bird special!!! It’s highly doubtful that anyone not legally
blind will EVAH call me “Miss”. In an
age where we continue to worship youth and devalue aging, it happens. The other day I was watching a cosmetic industry leader's commercial
that claimed their fabulous face food worked wonders on the skin and for any
ethnicity. They had four beautiful women
representing their diverse audience of users… but oh, did I mention THEY WERE
ALL 12???@?@?@ I’m sorry, but these
girls have barely hit puberty, and they need wrinkle cream??? Helloooooooo?????
Its okay, I’m back now.
Probably shouldn’t have thrown my shoe at the screen, though…
Anywhoooo… Here’s a little something that I want to toss
into your day – CELEBRATE YOUR AGE!!!!!
Girlfriend, you MADE IT! If you
have a birthday, CELEBRATE IT ALL WEEK LONG!

To help you get in the mood, I encourage you to watch the
new PBS documentary Age of Champions for free from April 18th-28th. It’s the story of five competitors who
sprint, leap and swim for gold at the National Senior Olympics, including a
100-year-old tennis champion, 86-year-old pole vaulter, and basketball
grandmothers!!! I love it – these folks
are my heroes. If you aren’t inspired by
these folks (and especially them golden grannies), girl, check your pulse because you must be dead!
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE their motto:
WINNING NEVER GETS OLD!
Wild women are winners, remember that! So get ready to be inspired, moved and then
getcher buttup offdacouch and move it/groove it/celebrate your life each and
every day. Exercise your ability to LIVE
JUICY!
Love and blessings,
