Fabulous@50 Blog

By Dianna Bowes on 11/26/2010 12:00 AM
There is so much talk about finding your passion, stepping out of your comfort zone...etc, etc. What does all that really mean? Some people are very good at taking risks and staying positive through the challenges. Then there are the people who think that if you do what you are passionate about, it will be easy, comfortable, a natural process. It can be, but don't be fooled you will be challenged and you may even fail. The growth is in the challenges, can you overcome them and what do you learn from them? Your self-esteem and self-confidence will be tested, but the beautiful part is the growth that happens when you come through it. It is so important to believe in what you are doing and why you are doing it. A friend of mine told me recently that the most important thing is to know who you are and what your intention is. I get asked all the time, why I do what I do with Fabulous@50 and sometimes I really don't know what to say. It is obviously my passion and I am challenged constantly. I get great pleasure in seeing other people happy and seeing the personal growth....

Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
Thank you for speaking into my heart this morning. I have always been "the original" one - the one that never stayed with the status quo. Visionaries are like that. It is only recently that I can truly say that I am gifted and talented and YES Different than the woman who must please each person and put herself last. I still do please people and still do put myself last, but I do it because I want to- not because it is expected of me.
How do I become a part of the tribe you are running with?
Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
Hi Diana. Belated congratulations on being awarded the WMCA Women of Distinction award! I just want to say hello and let you know I am thinking happy thoughts for you. I traveled in from Cold Lake for your first Fabulous @ 50 at the Lions Centre with my hand painted silk scarves. All the best!
Re: Are you an original? Break Free From the Mold.
My grandmother used to say "If you never looked in a mirror you would never know you were getting older". I have now lived long enough to know she was right. In her honor I am going out today to buy a perfectly fitted red bra, and I'm going to live, every day, at the age I feel when I don't look in the mirror.
Love your blog, thought provoking as always.
Cheers,
Lorraine
