Encouraging and equipping women over 60 to live their best life!
This Summer has been hot. I came home one day in my Peck & Peck shorts and my Cable & Gauge top and immediately went to my closet to find a loose-fitting dress that didn’t bind my waist and allowed air-flow. What a relief! Right then, I decided that I needed to find more comfortable dresses suitable for my everyday attire.
This is the joy of life, learning from others, finding our way, and helping as many as we can along the way, but always knowing there is water in the well. And it does not belong to us. It is God’s gift.
Each of us have Personality strengths and weaknesses. Living our best life, however, means that we focus on the strengths and work to minimize the weaknesses. This concept is called Living in Strength.

Each season offers beauty, purpose, and challenges. In our minds, and hearts, we must see the beauty and purpose within our place in life. And we need to know God is sovereign—He has a plan in mind. He has a purpose. And He makes beauty out of our ashes.
Do you still have a longing to use gifts and talents that you have put on the shelf while you were busy homemaking, mothering, or building a career? It is never too late! I have learned that age is just a number. It is my hope that you will continue to find new sisters in this after-60 phase of life—who are women living out their best lives.
By doing all the prep work in the morning, and getting back to everything else about an hour before your guests arrive, you should have time for a nice rest or other projects.
Ah, the power of a personal mission statement: not cautious but extravagant, not to get, but to give. What changes do you need to make to love your spouse extravagantly? Make it your personal purpose statement: love extravagantly.
You never really know how you will react, especially after years and years of trying to prepare yourself. My first reaction privately, Thank you God! Immediately, tears streamed down my face. Then I thought, Wait a minute! My mother was no longer suffering and confined to a bed, needing help for every basic need. I knew she was in heaven, so why the tears?
