Time is soaring toward Christmas…I cannot believe how fast
it arrives this year! I would like to
welcome new readers from the other blogs co-sponsoring Katie’s Favorite Things
Blog Hop! Everyone can link up below…if you would like to join in the fun!
Just so you know what you have stumbled on to, I am an over
50 (60 to be exact!) woman enjoying each moment of the second half of
life. But, it wasn’t always so. During my mommy years….I stopped taking care
of me. I allowed the stresses and circumstances of life to beat me down and I
ceased to care about my appearance, health, and profession. I gave every part
of me to my family…Pam was not on the priority list.
Then, on my 50th birthday, I was required to
renew my driver’s license. For some reason,
it was this picture which caught my attention.
I looked at a woman I did not know.
She had gone from a vivacious, career woman to a frumpy, sad person who
obviously did not care about herself. This
was my wakeup call. I spent the next
three years putting Pam back on the list and turning things around…it was
exhilarating!! I became the strong woman
I was meant to be…engaged in life and the world around me. I became a better
wife, mother, teacher, and communicator.
I began to share what I had learned with the women around me. I even shopped with some.
So, at 57, my best friend encouraged me to begin a
blog! That was 3 ½ years ago, and 1016 posts ago…over50feeling40 was born. I was shy about it at first…pictures were even
headless for a long time. But, you (my
awesome readers) gave me the courage to get bolder and bolder. As I formulated a mission statement (a reason
for existence), I was inspired each day by all of you. The mission became:
over50feeling40 exists to inspire women over 50 to look and feel their best…to strive to be women of strength and dignity…and to enjoy every single day of life…one day at a time.
Some would call this a
fashion blog…some a lifestyle blog…some might call it a mistake. But, I hope all of you will see it as a
community of amazing women over 50 who still believe they are special, make a
difference, and have much to offer.
Life is short…don’t waste a
moment.
Thanks for stopping by and I
hope you will return! Please tell us a little bit about you! If you would like to link up with us, just follow the instructions below!! Have an amazing day!!

Glad to participate in your blog hop. I too started a blog during my life after 50 (actually started my first blog when I was counting down to 50). It has been a great ride and I love connecting with other 50+ women. You have a great blog.
