Fabulous@50 Blog

By Dianna Bowes on 11/26/2010 12:00 AM
The last few week's has been filled with numerous opportunities for growth and self discovery....will it ever stop. The answer to that is a big NO. There is a life lesson at every corner. My sister-in-law Connie is in town, moving her husband's mother out of her cozy home and into a senior's home. It is such a tough time for everyone. This feisty lady is 90 years old and is still very witty, she cracked me up. She made a comment that everyone at this senior's home was so old and told us she should look for a millionaire boyfriend. Her body may be old, but her spirit is still young and feisty. While I was there, I began to picture myself sitting in that wheelchair as an old woman. All my ego gone, relying on others for my care. Will I feel I had lived my life to the fullest, had I made a difference to someone, did I share my gifts and live my dreams. See where I am going with...

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
