Last F**kable Day
This week's post is a humorous video from comedian Amy Schumer with the best of the funny girls. If you haven't seen her movie, Trainwreck, it's very entertaining.
Thanks to Ronnie Citron-Fink at Econesting for posting.
More later! I traveled the long journey between Boston and Pittsburgh this week to drop our 2nd born at college and am getting my legs back beneath me.
xo!

Respecting Our Core
I
enjoyed a conversation recently with author Sylvia
Resnick whose 8th book, The
Evolution of the Hollywood Heartthrob, was recently published. At the
age of 88, she is currently under contract to write an erotic historical
romance.
So what might a woman who has
written about Hollywood since 1964, who loves Pinterest, tea and dancing
have to share about aging?
Sylvia began by saying that
women need to stop worrying about getting older and just enjoy life! Be
yourself she says. Really be yourself. Look into your heart and ask, "Who
am I really?" and be that person. Don't let others take you away from what
you want to do.
Sylvia suggests that we reach
inside of ourselves and respect what is in our core, as everyone is an
individual.
She
also suggests we do not watch the news before going to sleep as it tends to put
negative images in our mind. I so agree. Instead she likes to watch reruns of
her favorite comedy series before nodding off.
Lastly, Sylvia says to have fun and
be VERY good to ourselves. She doesn't believe in denying herself at this
stage. This includes enjoying some spa pampering and indulging in her favorite
vice, an occasional hot fudge sundae. I told her I love them as well.
I wish you lived closer Sylvia.
We could have a sundae and then some tea.
Thank you for stopping into Lines of Beauty, dear
heart.

Human Being
This is one of my all time favorite posts from a few years ago:
“If you could give one piece of advice to a large group of people, what would it be?”
“Try your best to deal with life without medicating yourself.”
“You mean drugs?”
“I mean drugs, food, shopping, money, whatever. I ain’t judging anybody, either. I was hooked on heroin for years. But now I’ve learned that every feeling will pass if you give it time. And if you learn to deal with your feelings, they’ll pass by faster each time. So don’t rush to cover them up by medicating them. You’ve got to deal with them.”

My Mama
It seems like it takes forever and a day sometimes to get to certain tasks. Especially technical ones for me. It's so much easier and more fun to just cut flowers from the garden :-) My longtime childhood friend, author, speaker and therapist Cynthia Weintraub Brennen visited a few months back and gratefully filmed a clip of my mom and me while she was here.
So here it finally is- a conversation with my 93-year-old mama about health and life.
