Well Ladies, It’s either sink or swim in this youth dominated culture where everything has been expanded digitally.  Even images on the internet, Facebook can be blown up to the point that everyone can see those creases, which truly mean that you’ve lived life by basking in the sun too much or endured difficult situations too often. 

My blog is written just for you: Baby Boomers (Baby Bloomers).  How you can make some changes to bring the spring back in your step, kick up your heels and adapt a more youthful demeanor. Not only will your outside be addressed, but what stirs below the surface in your thoughts, dreams and soul be uplifted.

How to acquire a more youthful look:

Wear more casual clothes, as they make us more comfortable, flexible and expressive.  I’ve worn jeans with cute tops for years, and took on a younger persona because of it.  Stretch pants, also, work with fun cotton shirts.  Dressy clothes age us because of the stiffness of hose, tight girdles and underpants, and the formality of looking like “little miss perfect.”  Hell no, we won’t go this route any more!

You’ll resonate more with your kids and Grandchildren.  They will think you’re one cool Mom or Grandma who doesn’t sit on the couch, but runs about the yard gazing at the blueness in the sky, smelling the fragrances of the flowers and tossing balls in the air with your family and friends. 

Exercise will become easier wearing jeans or stretch pants more often.  You won’t need to stop and change, but slip on a pair of tennis shoes and off you go. You’ll be more inclined to step outside and walk or run around the block or visit the gym. 

Increases the probability you’ll wear more comfortable shoes with good tread, especially during the winter months.  Tennis shoes in particular increases our tempo when walking, because we’re able to stay much more active during the day.  I tossed out my high heeled shoes years ago.  Painful, dangerous and disfigurement of feet. During the hot summer months I wear Tevas-love the comfort and coolness they provide.   

Express yourself with sayings on you t shirts or tanks, or tout a favorite image whether it be the ocean, flowers pets, person or favorite places.

Sometimes we need to approach life from a different angle.  This morning I awoke to more snow-ugh! The whiteness dulling my mood and zeal for creating.  Even two cups of coffee didn’t help lift my spirits.  But as I gazed at the blanched landscape, I began to see it as a blank canvas for creating my day. Putting color back into my life like these Sea Urchins which I painted vividly, giving them…

HOW TO KEEP LOVE AND SANITY ALIVE IN 10 STEPS:

  Ladies, do you get a little nervous before Valentines’s Day?  Imagining your spouse or boyfriend taking the time to shop for a favorite of yours.  In my case it’s jewelry-how many times have I mentioned it.  Of course, in a subtle manner by pointing out the most expensive earrings in the showcase.  Ha!

Can You Resonate With Everything in Your World?

“Reflections of Moab,” by Janet Peters

The usual reply I’ve gotten from students through the years is no.  Typically I’d take out random items out of my purse, and display them on the table.  Then I’d ask them “pick an item, any item and see how you can relate to it.”  They would hum and ha and first,  and within a few minutes would start generating words, phrases and sentences depicting how…

INSIGHTS FROM A MOURNING DOVE

Life in the Fast Lane! Forthe past week, I’ve been observing a Mourning Dove in my Plum tree. Daily this bird sits patiently, motionless on her nest of twigs.  Rarely do I see her eyes blink. Since the wind has been fierce lately, she lays low-her small head nestling into her feathers while protecting her eggs.  I’m amazed at her endurance as the boughs dance to stiff winds.  Still she sits,…
