Well, I’ve officially turned 50 years old – hence the blog name! I’ve decided to chronicle these life changes with hope that it sparks a community of like-minded people to bond together on this journey of life. I have a world full of experiences behind me which have shaped my life, as I’m sure you do too! Like a Phoenix Rising in 2018, I’m choosing to put ME first now, and not last, as I did for the previous 50 years of my life. For, if not now, then when?
Join me in this new chapter of our lives!
Let’s grow together as we embrace our fifties!
Let’s be 50 and Fabulous Together!
♥
P.S. If you are at a crossroads in your life, then join me! You don’t have to be 50 ~ just choose to live your life authentically, the way we are meant to live!
Authentically 50 ~ Embracing Life's Changes

Thank you. Jenn is amazing! I’m still searching around yours. But I love the approach and ideas!
It might have been that while I was checking out someone who was nominated, I stumbled across a comment you made on their site and thought you were part of the people in the award nomination? I’ll keep looking. So sorry for the confusion. But glad to connect. 🙂

No worries! Thanks for the thought. I probably would have known if I was nominated. Something to look forward to one day! 🙂 In the meantime, I love meeting new people and was just on Jenn’s blog as well. Thanks for the referral and for connecting with me.

I know and easier said than done! I think we have to make the decision that we WANT to quit before we can be successful. Know what I mean?

I would never pressure you or anyone else because I hated it when people pressured me. It was like – nope! Not listening. So I get it and just so you know, I am here whenever you want to join the journey. ♥
