STRAIGHT TALK: Not everyone lives in a picture perfect world as they’d like us to believe. Physical appearance? Why do you think photo-shop and movie editing software was created. Because as we age all our flaws and imperfections will be out there for the world to see – our wrinkles, crows-feet, moles, bad teeth, crapey skin, lots of “relaxed” muscles and just plain body fat. Nothing that a little cropping can’t fix. Emotional issues? Putting up a facade with a smile is way too easy. And yet there are so many women who are living their lives struggling with personal demons and issues brought on by their significant others.
LET’S BE HONEST: I not going to sell you a bunch of promises that will fix all your problems. That’s not why I’ve created 50friendly. But what I can offer is a peek into my life and how I am trying to deal with these same issues. What you’ll see is me: learning to become friends with myself, having gratitude for everything I’ve been blessed with, working on my body – INSIDE AND OUT, and taking you into my crazy life and showing you how I cope – or don’t.
KEEPING IT REAL: Like I said, yes I have issues. I am a procrastinator (why do it today if I can easily do it tomorrow). I am somewhat of a hoarder (my kids old clothes, those glass coffee jars, and shoe boxes just might come in handy one day). I like to eat donuts (totally explains the flab around my gut). I hate to sweat (again totally explains my back fat, love handles, and sagging butt). I loath housework (I need a maid, my husband says I have it made). I want to write a book, start a business, pay off my bills, travel, spend more time with my grown children, stop fighting with my “other”, downsize, the list is endless.
SOME COME ON LADIES: I seriously can’t be the only one living a life of dysfunction. And I’m hoping – my goal with this 50friendly site is – maybe with some interaction … we can all just help each other. You’ve come to the right place if you can relate
