Why I started this blog and how I chose the name 50Friendly.com
Seeing I am now well into my 50’s, I decided to make some big changes in my life. I have been a stay at home mom for the past 33+ years and have dedicated my entire being to our 3 children’s needs and care – my entire focus was them. And while doing so I’ve neglected myself in the process. Not that I’m complaining, not that I have any regrets. But now that they’ve all moved out and are fulfilling their life dreams (and quite successfully I may add), it’s just me and my husband in our home. And yes – I still tend my husbands needs, but I now have the time (well not every day) to care for ME and pave my own path to happiness and good health.
So with this being said, I am now dedicated to making changes in my life (if you read the about me page you’ll see I have MANY DREAMS) and hope to inspire you to do the same as WE ARE ALL A WORK IN PROGRESS.
The changes will focus on HAPPINESS (because who doesn’t want to be happy. And if you’re married, you know how that saying goes …”a happy wife is a happy life”), WELLNESS (we’ll connect with female experts in this space – remember your body is your temple), and WEALTH (because let’s face it – it’s always nice to have some extra cash in your pocket).
I am a firm believer that you have to truly love yourself in order to make any changes in your life. So first things first – be friends with YOU … treat yourself kindly and friendly (hence the name 50FRIENDLY). Do this by cutting yourself some slack and stop beating yourselves up over mistakes made or regrets you may have. There’s plenty of time for do-overs as we’re all still fresh chicks. Why do you think 50 is America’s favorite age !!
So please, check in with my blog, sign up for the newsletter, visit the social media venues I’m on, and see how I’m implementing and coping with the changes in my life – hopefully it’ll inspire you to do the same.
