HOW DOES AGING PLAY OUT FOR A FEMALE OVER 60?

Oh yes, my life did change dramatically after sixty!

I’m a late bloomer and a baby-boomer. Here’s what happened to me after I turned fifty, then sixty, and now soon to be 73!

I improved my attitude and perfected my “I don’t give a damn what you think about me! I fully embraced my life, the love in my life, and who I am.

I moved to Mexico (from Canada) when I was 52 (in 2002) because I was in love with a very young Mexican guy. We eventually split up but we are still friends. Dating someone much younger than you will toughen you up to what will people think! I still had a lot to learn about the woman I was becoming.

When I hit 61, I was diagnosed with incurable heart disease and given 6 months to live! Instead of wallowing in self-pity (I tried that with my family but couldn’t get any sympathy) I turned to the things that had sustained me my entire life. Faith, Reiki, Self-healing, Shamanism, positive attitude. And other than one co-worker — I was managing a large sales entity — I kept my dis-ease to myself. When I published my story in 2017 LOVE The Beat Goes On I finally admitted my age. That was the year I turned 70.

Why did I finally accept my age? I wanted to be an inspiration to young women that turning 30 or 40 or 50 or 60 is NOT the end of the world! At 70, my life was just beginning! Maybe I’ve been blessed. I feel exactly the same way I’ve felt my whole life, except I’m finally free — free of the self-limiting belief that there are things I cannot do.
