When I first told Ellen about Lines of Beauty she wrote back and said that she is aging gracefully with wrinkles and gray hair- accentuated by putting out teenage fires at the age of 62.
I can relate!
She also wrote: “Things shift at mid-life if we can slow down enough to listen to that small voice within. Slowing down helps to enable us to listen to ourselves, and others as you so aptly referred to in your article about eating. Secondly, look for the positive in any situation and realize that every decade gets better!”
What every decade gets better?
I love this and so far I've found it’s true as well.
Lastly, Ellen recommends Dr. Christiane Northrup’s talk on Hayhouse Radio about the mid-life transition. “Apparently, our real selves and real voices begin to emerge to take care of ourselves", said Ellen.
Our real selves and real voices begin to emerge to take care of ourselves.
This is very important thing to remember and listen to I’d say.
It’s very comforting actually.
Thank you Ellen for sharing your great insights. XO
