"We women in the US have been bred to compete with our sisters, rather than unite when it comes to individual female success." Wow. Just wow. So incredibly true, but sad. Our power comes from our unity, not individual prowess. When a woman is aged, and is no longer perceived to have the "important" things needed to compete with we tend to discard or minimize her. So we help create our own issues. Shame on us. We can do better together ❤️

Thank you!! I forwarded your article with my note:

First, we need to clean our personal bias against our own aging and.....accept it. Graying hair, wrinkles and sagging body can be embraced, loved and

cherished with Gratitude. It is the base and seat of our soul and the wisdom starts right there , in the body that is constantly changing. Nature's way to help us evolve and, how we use it is up to us.

The author is not different with her view than the rest of us, taking pride in her youthful appearance

And it is well deserved as she won many "battles" having 16 surgeries and 2 cancers. She is a Scholar who never quits learning being blessed with superior intelligence and wisdom.

Ability to view our aging with a wink and smile, uniting the conflicting and opposing views while allowing the old ones to slowly fade away.....that is the Magic and Gift from the Higher Mind.

And the perfect JOY.

Ana
