Let's Do This!

Let us start our day with affirmations: I am me, I am capable and willing to move forward in this chapter of my life with conviction and living life to it's fullest. This is a renewal of my spirit, my hopes, my dreams, my aspirations! I choose to grow and not wither. I choose to refresh my mind, body and spirit. I have done the deed of raising my family, etc and perhaps now doing other deeds such as the caregiving of loved ones. However, my dreams were not lost just put on hold.

Ok ladies referencing my intro, I as mentioned have been in a re-discovering part of my life. I have been inspired by some really awesome women who are tenacious and are rediscovering themselves. There is soo much out there for us to still discover and explore. Joining a Senior's Exercise Class for me was the best thing I could ever have done for myself, after the death of my husband. Not only has it physically help me but it has been the catalyst to me actually creating this blog as well as opening my eyes to many other possibilities. It doesn't matter if you are in retirement or not, you can still prepare yourself for your retirement years by doing things even in your "limited" time, that you have always been passionate about. In the upcoming weeks you will be introduced to some really inspiring women who have re-invented themselves. As for me, my passion has always been writing. Started in High School being on the newspaper staff and then onto taking college courses majoring in Journalism/Mass Communications. However, as life has it, I went into an entirely different direction putting my passion of writing aside, as with many of the women you will see featured weekly in this blog who had done the same but are now doing the darn thing! We are NOT our mothers and grandmothers who just sat in our rocking chairs growing older and unmotivated ,respectfully saying that because they just didn't know anything different, thinking their best years were gone. We are living longer more fruitful lives!! I invited you to join me on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to discuss topics that are relevant to us, so get your note pads ready to jot down useful info so please don't be afraid to chime in on discussions that may be of interest to you. The time is now ladies, like right now! So lets do this!!
