The difference between mediocracy and excellence is 10% effort... Jim Spoor (my dad)

Growing Up and Growing Old


We are programmed to believe aging is a problem. Something to avoid and hide. That younger is better and older is bad. We shame age and aging should not be shameful!

Aging is a gift that not all of us get to experience. It starts the minute we are born and does not stop until we are, well, dead. So if you are "anti-aging" are you anti-breathing? Pro-death?

Every day, I am grateful for the chance to get up and live another day. I want to change the way people think of and image older women. 


My wrinkles have been earned - laughter, wonderful beach vacations, some scowling and smiles. My gray hair is completely normal. None of those things take away my abilities, knowledge, experience and expertise.
