Trying to hide our age only makes us look desperate. We have all seen make-up that accentuates wrinkles in an attempt to hide them. Or a woman wearing clothes to try and look younger than she is. They are not fooling anyone. Let me ask some questions here. Who decided wrinkles were a bad thing anyway?
How about celebrating your age and wearing it proudly? How about being an example for younger women and taking on a positive, happy, healthy attitude towards yourself and aging? Would we have benefited witnessing women older than ourselves celebrating themselves? Aren't we over 30 years old a larger percentage of life than we are under 30?
A woman's face tells an individual life story.
Our beauty is born out of self knowledge, confidence and wisdom. Let's reveal and celebrate the beauty we have earned!
Lets do it for ourselves and the young men and women in our society looking up to us for inspiration.
You look fabulous as you are. It's your/our decision. Through example we have the power to change society's points of view about aging. You have vitality, joy and wisdom. Let the beauty you have gained shine through.
There is no age limit to those desires. Many women believe we cannot have that kind of attention later in life because of the societal message we've heard since birth. We are led to believe that as we age we lose value. We are told that only youth is attractive. This insidious message can haunt women at a deep psychological level. For many women, as soon as the first grey hair appears or wrinkle becomes noticeable, the battle against time begins. We use all the cosmetics that claim to wipe away our age. Some women go to the extent of cosmetic surgery.The money spent on Botox, collagen injections, and hair dye keep the beauty product companies thriving. Women go to endless measures in a futile attempt to fool themselves and others.
