<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This book is a collection of thoughts and stories woven together with a fresh philosophy that helps to dispel some of the toxic stereotypes of aging. It's an inspirational, empowering, and emotionally honest look at life's journey--part joyful celebration and part invitation to readers to live life fully to the very end.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>All around us, older women flourish in industry, entertainment, and politics. Do they know something that we don't, or are we all just trying to figure it out? For so many of us, our hearts and minds still feel that we are twenty-something young women who can take on the world. But in our bodies, the flexibility and strength that were once taken for granted are far from how we remember them. Every day we have to rise above the creaky joints and achy knees to earn the opportunity of moving through the world with a modicum of grace. Yet we do rise, because it's a privilege to grow old, and every single day is a gift. Peter Pan's mantra was "never grow up"; our collective mantra should be "never stop growing." This collection of user-friendly stories, essays, and philosophies invites readers to celebrate whatever age they are with a sense of joy and purpose and with a spirit of gratitude.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>2021 Book Excellence Awards Winner in Non-Fiction<br>2021 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards Silver Winner in Gift Book<br>2020 Living Now Book Awards Bronze Winner in Mature Living/Aging<br>2020 Best Book Awards Finalist in Health: Aging/50+</b> <p/>"Raffelock's book will be a much-needed boost to readers of all ages.
