Where does the message that we’re “too old” for something—be it a task, a relationship, or a haircut—originate? Usually between our ears, because we’ve internalized a lifetime of messages that older people are undesirable or incompetent or unwelcome, and should shuffle to the sidelines. Preferably without making a fuss.

LOL–don’t even get me started on the aging thing! I feel it is part of my mission in life to bitch slap the cosmetic and fashion industries because they act as if we wonderful, wise, sage and BEAUTIFUL mature women do not exist! Keep posting sister! XOXOXOXO!!!

I’m giving up on aging, Bernadette. There are things I don’t want to do anymore, but it’s not about age. I’ve met a lot of powerful women lately who are embracing the freedom and wisdom that comes with maturity. It’s wonderful.

Age really is just a number, the real measure is taste and style. If the cut suits your face, or the length of a skirt is your style ;then you can wear it.
