I was born on the leading edge of the Baby Boom generation, and have had the quintessential boomer experience: I worked my way through college, married, had a child, divorced, thrived in a few careers, survived as a single mom, remarried and struggled with blended family issues. Perhaps you can relate.
After traveling the country for nearly a decade delivering leadership and life skills workshops for women, the demands of my travel schedule and the onset of menopause collided with the big 5-0. I was moved to press the pause button on my life and reassess my priorities.
Questions whispered in the background of my mind. Who am I becoming? What does this all mean? Will I still be loved, valued and respected? Is this the beginning of the end?
I watched in astonishment as my skin began to lose its elasticity, and was mildly horrified when my tummy morphed into a permanent flotation device. Smile lines etched in deeper and I found it necessary to color my hair more often. When I made the decision to stop dyeing my hair, the whispers became urgent, unavoidable. 
And so began my not-so-graceful quest to age mindfully.
Gradually, I learned that my frustrations,
fears and anxieties about aging grew quiet when I faced them directly. I
learned to refocus my energies on the 
people,
things and activities that brought a smile to my face and a song to my heart.
By letting go of old identities and rediscovering new passions, I have gradually
(but not always gracefully) hitched my rope to a growing movement of Amazing
Grays.
