It happens to the best of us.
One particular day, a day that starts like any other, you look in the mirror and see someone else staring back at you.
.....
But it’s not all about appearance. Ultimately, being “Not Ready For Granny Panties” has little to do with face lifts, tummy tucks or dressing like your teenage daughter. It’s a whole lot easier than that. A few simple adjustments and some commitment to yourself, for a change, will lead you to a whole new world. A world in which every once in a while, you take center stage. Because you deserve it. Because you’ve earned it. And because you in Granny Panties is something no one, especially not you, wants to see.
Being Not Ready For Granny Panties is not about trying to deny your age. It’s about living, to borrow Oprah’s phrase, “your best life” at exactly the age you happen to be. It’s also about not letting that age define you in a negative way. Just because you’re over 50 doesn’t mean you can’t take up surfing. But please don’t wear a bikini while you do it. A little common sense (just a little) makes all the difference between being the kind of woman people look at and say, “I wish I were like her,” as opposed to “Thank God I’m not like her!”
