Identity Crisis: Are You or Will You Be a Senior? An article in the local newspaper, "Director hopes to fight senior stigma" documents the declining attendance at a local senior center because it appears older people don't want to be labeled "seniors." Yaaaay! Here's the deal at the senior center: For just $25 a year you can partake of the following activities: poker, sewing, pool, ceramics, quilting, doll making, watercolor and bridge. All great stuff. I'd love to learn to play poker or shoot pool and even play bridge but here's the thing: Frankly, I don't want to learn how to do anything in an age-segregated situation.Read more . . .

Read More . . . Videos Helen Montgomery Drysdale I'm often asked "What is a Little Old Lady" and my reply is that it is a woman who is no longer productive and in the process of decline. It has nothing to do with appearance. Photographer Helen Mongtomery Drysdale is a perfect example of an older woman who definitely is NOT a little old lady. I hope our local TV station keeps the link live long enough for you to see it. Shoes: What Women in New York are Wearing This video is from the Fabulous After 40 website. I maintain that what you put on your feet is a reflection of what's going on in your head. I could be wrong, of course. :-) Keep'em coming Many thanks to those who have sent in requests for help and to those who share solutions. Next month I hope to have an article about shoes. You will recall in a previous newsletter, Barbara Abernathy asked for help in finding shoes that are comfortable and stylish. Leslie Charles, co-author of Bless Your Stress says she knows everything there is to know about shoes and has promised to share her shoe expertise with us. At the moment she is tied down with other work, but I am willing to wait for however long it takes for her to find time. Leslie has a way with words that is unique. Stay tuned. No More Little Old Ladies! Yep, No More Little Old Ladies! should be ready by the end of August.

Maybe you've attracted some nteresting
items, people, or events into your life, but some of what you want is
giving you a challenge. What's different?
While cruising around the
bookstore a
book just jumped off the shelf and hit me right between the eyes: "
We
don’t talk much about the cost of fear, probably because it’s so
expensive. When we are afraid we don’t take essential risks and we
put too much of our time and money into assuring our security.
That’s fool’s work. Life turns on the unexpected. No matter
how hard we try, what comes is not going to be what we had in mind every
time. We will never be able to anticipate all the things that can go
very wrong.
