The beautiful words below and
image crossed my path today, they touched me and I felt I wanted to share.
In a world that worships
youth, disdains the aged...especially women and is horrified at wrinkles...it
is easy to allow our inner and outer confidence and beauty to be hidden, sometimes
so deeply that it can't re-surface.
We often hide our
fabulousness, compare ourselves to others, forget to seek role models, regret
the passing of our youth, forget to dream and weep and wail over our
wrinkles... and forget the value of our wisdom, insights and
understandings.
There has never been a
better time to be 50+, for you to fire up your confidence, to recognise that
confidence can be a slippery little devil that flows and grows... and look at
your ever changing energy with excitement and anticipation.
If you feel yourself
wavering in life right now...these beautiful words may add pleasure to your
day. The image accompanying portrays pure grace, beauty and quiet confidence. I
hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
10 Commandments for being a Beautiful Ageless
Woman
Thou shalt dare to be fabulous.
Thou shalt know that comparing thyself to other women is like comparing a lotus to a rose.
Thou shalt seek out and find those role models of women who accept their aging as their ally!
Thou shalt know that an addiction to youth can only lead to disappointment. Detaching from it opens the pathway to self-acceptance.
Thou shalt know that opening to thy dreams is the way to discover what the universe has in store for thee.
Thou shalt rise above society’s youthful ideal and know that wrinkles and lines add softness and depth of character.
Thou shalt protect thy beauty by allowing purpose and intimacy to be central in thy life.
Thou shalt know that looking great is wonderful, but a rich inner life manifests outwardly as true grace and beauty.
Thou shalt rejoice in uniting with nature, allowing her to season thee with wisdom, insight & understanding. She teaches to accept a design far grander than any of thy dreams.
Thou shalt keep going, going, & going with lightness of being.
TRUST THE HEART THAT HAS LOVED YOU ALL YOUR LIFE.

What are your top ideas for
aging with exquisite grace.... I would love you to share them.
I think you've covered them all Di, but I do feel that continuing to dress well and caring about your appearance is important regardless of wrinkles.
