So I went to see the movie this week called 'Advanced Style'. It was a wonderful empowering documentary of women over 60 who refused to go into the 'invisible' box now that they weren't young. Some were elegant, some were eccentric but the one thing they all were was very authentically themselves. Recently I had a client, Laurie S, who redefined her perspective on her aging body. She said "It's like spaghetti when it's cooked. It used to be skinny and stiff and when you add a little love and water.... it relaxes. Besides, she said, it's good when it's old!!" I love that! As we age, what we have to pass on to the younger generation is the wisdom that we are intrinsically okay when we are being authentically ourselves......no matter what our age!!!!

Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are.
