If you're a Prime Time woman (50+) you know what I'm talking about when I say it's the best time of a woman's life. Every Bolder Woman I meet mentions the freedom of not worrying about what others think anymore.
It's not that we don't value politeness but rather, now we speak our truth without apology.
It's not about being disdainful of fashion but rather, now we dress to express our self.
It's not about selfishness but rather, knowing that time is life and we are getting on with living ours.
It's not about giving up or not caring but rather finally understanding the only one we control is ourself.
It's not about doing less but rather, doing what is important.
It's not about abandoning all we've built, but rather answering the call of our dreams.
Older is definitely bolder and it's a radical shift. It can also be scary for those around us because it demands something from those around us. They get to be free, too.
What are you letting go of?
Who are you being today?
Well, I am not quite 50, but nigh unto it, and this expressed my sentiments exactly! Thanks for the post!
